Croatian Sheepdog

The predecessors of the present-day Croatian Sheepdog were brought to Croatia by ancient Croat people when they moved from their old settlements into this region in the VII century. This dog helped local cattle-breeders to manage their sheep during daylight hours and guarded houses and families of their masters at night. They used meticulous selective breeding in order to create dogs with superior working characteristics so only the most talented specimens were allowed to pass their genes. That’s why the breed’s appearance virtually didn’t change since the XIV century.
