Question: Which dog originated in the Mountains of Romania, the Ariege Pointer or the Carpathian Shepherd Dog?
Context: Carpathian Germans (German: "Karpatendeutsche, Mantaken" , Hungarian: "kárpátnémetek" or "Felvidéki németek", Slovak: "karpatskí Nemci" ) are a group of ethnic Germans.  The term was coined by the historian Raimund Friedrich Kaindl (1866–1930), originally generally referring to the German-speaking population of the area around the Carpathian Mountains: the Cisleithanian (Austrian) crown lands of Galicia and Bukovina, as well as the Hungarian half of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy (including the Zips region), Bosnia-Herzegovina and the northwestern (Maramuresch) region of Romania.  Since the First World War, only the Germans of Slovakia (the Slovak Germans or "Slowakeideutsche", including the Zipser Germans) and those of Carpathian Ruthenia in Ukraine have commonly been called "Carpathian Germans". The Romanian Mioritic Shepherd Dog is a large breed of livestock guardian dog that originated in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. The Anatolian Shepherd Dog (Turkish: "" ) is a breed of dog which originated in the Anatolia region of central Turkey.  It is rugged, large and very strong, with good sight and hearing that allow it to protect livestock.  With its high speed and agility it is able to run down a predator with great efficiency.  The Kennel Club of the United Kingdom classifies it as a shepherd dog and Fédération Cynologique Internationale classifies it as molossus/mountain dog #331 (group 2 part 2.2) The German Shepherd (German: Deutscher Schäferhund , ] ) is a breed of medium to large-sized working dog that originated in Germany.  The breed's officially recognized name is German Shepherd Dog in the English language (sometimes abbreviated as "GSD").  The breed is also known as the Alsatian in Britain and Ireland.  The German Shepherd is a relatively new breed of dog, with their origin dating to 1899.  As part of the Herding Group, German Shepherds are working dogs developed originally for herding sheep.  Since that time however, because of their strength, intelligence, trainability, and obedience, German Shepherds around the world are often the preferred breed for many types of work, including disability assistance, search-and-rescue, police and military roles, and even acting.  The German Shepherd is the second-most registered breed by the American Kennel Club and fourth-most registered breed by The Kennel Club in the United Kingdom. The Braque de l’Ariège, translated into English as the Ariege Pointing Dog or Ariege Pointer, is a breed of dog, a French hunting dog of pointing gun dog type.  The breed is kept primarily as a hunting dog, not as a pet or showdog. The Kuchi or Afghan Shepherd dog is an Afghan livestock guardian dog, taking its name from the Kuchi people of Afghanistan.  It is a working dog following the nomads, protecting caravans and flocks of sheep, goats, camels and other livestock from wolves, big cats and thieves.  It is sometimes known as just a local variant of the Central Asian Shepherd Dog and its status as a distinct breed is disputable. The Hucul or Carpathian is a pony or small horse breed originally from the Carpathian Mountains.  It has a heavy build and possesses great endurance and hardiness.  The breed is also referred to as the Carpathian pony, Huculska, Hutsul, Huţul, Huţan or Huzul.  The breed gets its name from the Hutsul people, who live mostly in the Carpathians in Ukraine and in Romania, but also in an area in the East Carpathian Mountains north of the river Bistritz, officially named "Huzelei". The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog (, Slovak: "Československý vlčiak" ) is a relatively new dog breed that traces its original lineage to an experiment conducted in 1955 in Czechoslovakia.  After initially breeding working line German Shepherd Dogs with Carpathian wolves "(Canis lupus lupus)", a plan was worked out to create a breed that would have the temperament, pack mentality, and trainability of the German Shepherd Dog and the strength, physical build, and stamina of the Carpathian wolf. The Carpathian Shepherd Dog ("Ciobănesc Românesc Carpatin") is a breed of large sheep dogs that originated in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. The Chiribaya Dog (Spanish: "perro Chiribaya" ) or Peruvian shepherd dog ("perro pastor Peruano ") was a pre-Columbian breed of dog from the southwest of Peru, identified by the 42 mummies discovered by anthropologist Sonia Guillén Oneglio in the Ilo District, Moquegua Region, on the south coast of Peru.  It has been established that it was a llama herding dog.  The dogs were not only an important part of the social structure of the ancient Peruvians, but they received special treatment after death as well.  The dog variety has been referred to in various Spanish-language documentaries under different terms, such as "el perro pastor Chribaya" ('the Chiribaya shepherd dog') and "pastor Peruano " ('Peruvian shepherd'), though the ancient Peruvians did not keep sheep.  Its original name is unknown.  (It has been referred to more ambiguously by the term "perro Peruano " or "perro del Perú " ('Peruvian dog', 'dog of Peru'), but this has also been applied to an extant but ancient hairless variety, referred to in more detail as "perro sin pelo del Perú", 'hairless dog of Peru', or the Peruvian hairless dog, a favorite in South American dog shows.)
