About the East-European Shepherd

The East European Shepherd, also called Vostochno Evropeiskaya Ovcharka or VEO is a Ukrainian and Russian breed of shepherd dog. It was selectively bred in the Soviet Union from the German Shepherd to create a larger dog with better resistance to cold conditions, and was intended for military and guard work.
