The Sarplaninac (Shar-pla-nee-natz) dog is a sheep guarding breed that originated in the remote mountain regions of Serbia. Made to protect livestock and personal property throughout the centuries, they were selected mainly for their working abilities and their temperamental soundness. The history of the Sarplaninac dog is very long and not very clear. Unlike the modern breed of dogs, the Sarplaninatc breed has been preserved unchanged throughout the centuries. There are many theories in existence of how and when the Sarplaninac dogs came to inhabit the mountain region of South Serbia. One of the theories is that the Sarplaninac dog originated form the ancient MOLOSSER sheep dogs of ancient Epirus. These are ancient Illyrian Tribes that lived in the Balkan Peninsula. It is believed that the Molosser dogs developed from the so called untamable Tribetan Hounds whose ancestors are known to be the Tibetan wolves. Sarplaninac dogs today display the uniqueness of their physical and temperamental characteristics thanks to the shepherds with whom they live. Through the centuries, shepherds from the Sara, Korab, Bistra and Kopaonik Mountain ranges, selected only those dogs that were capable of efficiently protecting livestock. With their harsh living conditions, which are worsened by the presence of large predators such as wolves and bears, which Srbia is known to have in large numbers. The shepherds needed dogs that could be left alone with the flocks in the mountains for several days; and be trusted to make the right decisions. Sarplaninac dogs got their full public and international recongition as a unique breed back in 1939 when they were registered with FCI (Federation Cynoloqugue Internationale). At that time, they wre registered as Illyrian sheep dogs, under #41. In 1957, at the instigation of the Yugoslav Cynological Association, their name was changed to Yugoslav Shep-dog SARPLANINAC (pronounced Sha-pla-nee-natz). sharakennel.net/bfact.html is One of best sites to educate about this beautiful breed Sarplaninac https://facebook/pages/%C5%A0arplaninac/108013692555392?rf=115585931786684#
