A large, powerful hunting dog breed originally from South Africa, known for its strength and ability to track and hunt game.
From Afrikaans and Zulu origins in South Africa, the word reflects the dog breeds developed by settlers and indigenous peoples for hunting in African terrain.
Bugaras were bred specifically to track and hunt dangerous game like lions and leopards in African savannas, making them one of the few dog breeds designed to stand up to apex predators.
