The World Championship of Belgian Shepherds is being held for the first time in Romania, with the city of Pecica as the host. The event debuted on May 12, 2026, with a spectacular parade of over 500 registered dogs and their owners from around the world.
Located in Arad County, near the border with Hungary, Pecica is a town with a rich agricultural heritage and deep historical roots. It gained international fame primarily for its traditional bakery products, most notably the 'Pecica Bread' (Pâinea de Pecica). This large, crusty loaf, traditionally baked in wood-fired ovens, was once a staple at the imperial court in Vienna and is now a protected geographical indication. Archaeologically, the town is significant for the 'Șanțul Mare' site, a major Dacian fortress that provides insights into the pre-Roman history of the region. Today, Pecica thrives as a vital transportation hub on the pan-European corridor, blending its rural traditions with modern development. Visitors can explore the local cultural center, which preserves folk customs, or visit the nearby Mureș Floodplain Natural Park. The town’s unique position at the crossroads of Romanian and Hungarian cultures makes it a fascinating stop in the Banat region.
