@Alexander The Great Bulgarian/Thracian dog.

[@mihailnikoloff2554]

@Alexander The Great Thracians are one of Bulgaria's ancestors. Along with Slavs and Bulgars.

[@mihailnikoloff2554]

@Alexander The Great Greeks are Middle Easterns.

[@mihailnikoloff2554]

@Alexander The Great You have nothing in common with the Thracians. Greek historian Herodotus described the Thracians as barbarians living north of classical Greece and they were non-Greek tribes originally. Later they were Hellenized after the conquests of Alexander and Philil of Macedon. That doesn't make them Greeks. Then came the Roman Empire, thus a process of Romanization occurred with Roman culture and etc. When Bulgaria was founded in 681 ad Thracians intermingled with Bulgarians, and Bulgaria's culture is mostly old Thracian traditions and customs like Kukeri, Nestinarstvo, Surva, Martenitsa, that Greeks don't have. Plus modern Bulgarians DNA is predominantly native Balkan/Thracian.

@Alexander The Great Let's talk about the genocide and assimilation of the Bulgarians (Slavophones, Pomaks) in Aegean Macedonia and Western Thrace?

Is there any way for AP Archive to add subtitles in English?

[@KucheKlizma]

Would be difficult, as there aren't any subtitles and the voice capture and auto-translation of Bulgarian is mostly gibberish at the moment.

Само ще добавя, че име "каракачанско" е неправилно, специално за българското куче, уикипедията въобще не я броя за достоверна информация(вече са съдили от прокуратурата хора, които пишат неверни данни там) . Щом породата се е формирала на територията на България, се нарича българско овчарско куче. Няма да изпадам в полемики, но много грешна кампания(от 25 години) се води за нашето овчарско куче с погрешното название. Ще отбележа, че в цяла Северна и Западна България навремето(говорим за отпреди 200 години, преди изобщо да са чували за "каракачани" като име, защото за първи път името се появява от германски учен, изследовател чак през 1934 година) , когато кучетата ни не са имали досег с така наречените "каракачани", са изглеждали точно като тези в момента, даже са имали и разнородни по тип окраски, че късокосмести и дългокосмести и такива, които приличат на днешните шарпланинци ! Това е описано в научна публикация от учен - кинолог, радетел на породата българско овчарско куче и кинолог от повече от 35 години. Тези въпросни разновидности(късокосмести, с вълча окраска като на днешния шарпланинец, или такива, които днес биха ги нарекли от невежи "специалисти" извън "стандарта" ) са избити или заличени от комерсиални индивиди или простотия. Който не знае, да чете рядката книга - "Българското овчарско куче - величие, което привлича и поразява" . Там са описани неща, които ВСЕКИ БЪЛГАРИН трябва да знае, ако милее за националната ни порода(и там има неща, които описват истината за така наречените "каракачани") Помествам и линк само за една малка част от това, как се изопачава името и как се прави избирателно тълкуване от някои хора за свои цели, като се подиграват с историческата принадлежност на българската ни овчарка: mpkucheto.com/%D0%B1%D1%8A%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%BE-%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE-%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%87%D0%B5/ Като оставим това и за да не отговорите твърде прибързано, виждала съм архивни фотографии(от 1930-те примерно) на "каракачански" кучета и смело мога да кажа, че, или се лъже безобразно, или се използват нечисти користни цели, защото от това, където видях, кучетата приличат на малки хрътки с дълъг косъм(както и двуцветни гончета), рядко попадам на снимки на големи кучета, като те специално са гръцки овчарки и нищо повече. Това е, нека всеки който иска, да рови повече за информация. В моя род са имали българска овчарка и никъде, никога не са я наричали "каракачанско", наричали са овчарско или просто овчарка и за това нещо говорим за години от порядъка на 1980г.!

[@ICP2-3]

Прадядо ми беше роден през 1911.Още баща му е гледал кучета на които са казвали Каракачански. Имахме снимки на прадядо и дядо, когато е бил дете с едно от кучетата им. Изглеждало си е точно като тези.От Търновско са.

[@s_lena9286]

@@ICP2-3 Има райони, където каракачански крак не е стъпвал(Северна България, Западна, Северозападна и части Централната част на страната, включително и Североизток) , но българите са имали кучета, досущ като показаните в клипа. Дори и стари фотографии има. Моите предци също са имали овчарски кучета, но никога не са ги наричали "каракачански"(дядо ми е имал досег и ми е разказвал, баща ми също), а овчарски кучета или чобански - използвали са се турцизми, което е нормално за онова време, а и днес в някои райони все още така ги наричат, което е една жаргонна дума и нищо повече, не се претендира с нея.

This is a sheep, not a dog

[@RositsaPetrovarjp7]

the guy says that this dog had been on the lands of bulgaria for thousands of years and was used by everybody. however the karakachan are the only fully itinerant shepherds so they used him the most, hence the name. but it is a bulgarian breed so stop it!

[@Beatusable]

Karakachan is Bulgarian word - DEFINITELY NOT Greek.

[@irinaten276]

Alexander Beatus not really

[@apahna4ka]

It's Turkish: kara - black, kachan - runner.

[@dzhoko1968]

It is turkish. When the turks arrived at the Balkans and concurred Bulgaria this dogs were used for guarding herds. Back then they were called just shepards dogs . People who used them were bulgarian and vlash nomads.Majority of them were dressed up in black outfits and their sheeps were also kind off dark color/like the one on the video/ ,so the turks started calling them black runners- kara - kachan.So This dog is very common bread on Balkan peninsula and every country blamed as their origin , but that proofs nothing else,but that all the peaples of the balkans were all of the same nationaliti before the: divide and concur strategy was invented by romans till now days.

[@davidilijevski8942]

Cyril and methode were Macedonians from solun which had been changed to tessalonica to make it sound Greek. They were the creators of the Slavic language . The Greek word was created from a German king Otto in 1830 .

Bulgarian- Karakachan dog

[@CAA8148]

Karakachan nomad people at the spring and summer, were to Bulgarian and Serb mountains. Autumn back to Greek mountains because of the cold. At 1920-1930,bulgarian communists closed the borders. Many karakachan people trapped in Bulgaria! At 1950 communists took their flocks and dogs as a state property! And now they promote the dogs and sheep's as a Bulgarian breed! Until now 30.000 karakachan brothers live in Bulgaria! Ask them for the breed of the dogs!!!

[@CAA8148]

Read about Greek karakachan people!

[@kalishnikov27642]

Yes we know about Greek karakachan people, this dog was named after them and many other animal breeds in Bulgaria because the word karakachan was associated with wild mountain people in the Bulgarian language, but we only borrowed the word to name a dog that has been in bulgarian from thracian times, also the horse breeds are named after them and sheep's, Not because all came from the nomads, but just this word seeped into our language, another biological aspect to take is that if the nomads had this breed probably they couldn't adhere to strict breeding between pure blood dogs to form a pure breed if they were so nomadic and had to change places often.... So it's unlikely they could maintain it for long generations. In the end cultures mix and tribes exchange words and customs this is silly we can go back and forth with this but I don't know why I wasted my time to write this down because probably you think everything is Greek like the father from the movie my big fat Greek wedding

[@CAA8148]

@@kalishnikov27642 this dog breed is from Pindos mountains.still now you can see this breed there.and yes karakachan nomads had only this dog breed for centuries! even if it is from thracian time,it is Greek! whats your relation with thracians; you came here 6th century!you can say it a thracian dog breed! not a bulgarian one!and i say it for the history.not as a propaganda whos places are all Bulgaria and south romylia! we dont want something! we let you bulgarians to leave there and you become christians! before 1500 years! we greek byzantines, and we are proud for this!
