In the old times at fighting tournametnts on Sarplanina villages there were no trophy's or prizes involved that I'm aware of. The biggest prize was pride of best dog's owner and respect of another participators. One of the ways to get something from villagers who have great breed specimens is to buy a pup from them, because they are more willing to sell it instead of full-grown dog, but the chances are that even then you can't expect that you'll get what you are loking for. In most cases, shepards will sell you a pup that they choose, and you are not alowed to pick the best one from the litter. I've learned that the easiest, and probably the best, way to collect some blood of those great working dogs is to bring your bitch to them for mating and then do your own selection among the pups.
