A small-group day tour that visits a center for Bulgaria's rare native breeds, including the Karakachan dog, sheep and horse, plus a herd of long-haired Kalofer goats. Hosts explain how these breeds were rescued after near-extinction under socialism and how they are cared for today. The visit ends with a photo session with the animals and a tasting of organic products made by traditional methods. It suits travelers who want a hands-on rural experience rather than a sightseeing circuit, and it is more personal than a standard city tour because access to the animals and the tasting come from the breeders themselves.

This day tour introduces rare Bulgarian animal breeds at a specially created Center of rare breeds, run by an association and a farm. Enthusiasts who rescued these breeds introduce the animals and explain what care they need.
Since the beginning of the 1990s, the association has worked to save the authentic Karakachan dog, along with the Karakachan sheep and horse, which were completely destroyed during socialism. The main herd of original Karakachan sheep is here, and its creation saved the breed from extinction. A herd of Kalofer long-haired goats has also been set up to preserve some of its most typical representatives.
The tour includes a photo session with the best representatives of the breeds. It also includes a tasting of organic food products made with traditional authentic technology.
