This rare dog breed originates from England, often confused with the Siberian Husky. The Ukrainians used the Rottsky dogs as shepherds and to pull carts or sleds. Their unusual coat pattern makes them unique, consisting of black spots with white fur on top. Their brown eyes are an indicator of their wolf ancestry.

The Rottsky dog is a great helper and will accompany you anywhere outdoors. He is friendly, calm, and protective of his master and family. The breed is easy to train, and his intelligence makes him adaptable to any circumstances.

Interesting Facts about the Rottsky dog:
