Dear Aleksa Everybody could learn a lot from this article, but according to my knowledge, the part of breeding in the mountain is more like how we would like it is, than how it is exactly. There are to many mixed breeds, that is to difficult to talk about "aboriginal type" as a type, becouse of the missing common type characteristics. :?: Those dogs can hardly be named Sarplaninac, if you look in the Standard. Fortunately, the real common characteristic (for me, the most important) is their character - what you have excellent described in your article. :D Pozdrav. Zeljko
