The Cane Lupino del Gigante, also known as Cane da Pastore dell'Appennino Reggiano o Cane Luvin, is a local variant of Cane Toccatore which has been used by shepherds on the Apennine Mountains near Reggio Emilia. Gigante refers to a mountain present in the area where the dogs live. The decline of sheep raising in the area led to a decline in the numbers of the breed which is now reduced to about 200 specimens. The Lupino resembles a small wolf since breeding with wild wolves has been know to occur. The dog only weighs in most cases and only a few specimens are bigger than that. It is a very docile dogs which can be used to drive sheep or to guard property. The Italian Kennel Club does not recognize the breed. ==External links== * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cane Lupino del Gigante」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
