Tornjak


Explanation:
Tornjaks were produced from genetically homogenous indigenous sheepdogs that were close to dying out. These dogs had populated a large area of mountains and valleys in what we know today as the south Slav states of Croatia and neighboring Bosnia and Herzegovina. They were actually mentioned in written documents dating as far back as 1067 and 1374.Interest in these dogs and their history started to grow in what was then Yugoslavia circa 1972. There was a resolve to save the variety for posterity and a breeding program was launched in 1978.
According to Royal Canine the term is registered such as it is and doesn't it does not translate.
Nowadays, there is a healthy population of purebred Tornjaks based on several generations of dogs in both territories, which are now independent countries. Tornjaks are big and powerful, well proportioned and agile. Their long, dense hair covers an almost square body. The bone structure is neither too light nor too heavy and coarse.
