Well said Zoran.NY Shar said:Hi everyone my name is Zoran and I'v been living and working with Sharplaninatz dogs for a very long time. My personal opinion is that Shars are not going to benefit from trying to make them "easy to attain ". They are not for everybody , and that includes farmers as well. Before planing a litter one has to make sure that new homes are suitable for this breed, if new home is going to be a farm, I would like to know how much farmer knows about raising and working with LGD . Making them " attainable" is not going to educate farmer on the ways to prevent bad habits to be developed , it is not going to educate farmers on different bloodlines and what to expect from them. Making them " attainable" could also make them very " disposable" .
Hello Grazer,Grazer said:Well said Zoran.
My family members have owned several Sarplaninac dogs in the past and they are definitely not for everyone.
Also...some lines can be human aggressive, another thing to think about for the future Sarplaninac owners.
I own a Caucasian Ovcharka right now and although Sarplaninac's are more calm and easier to deal with for most people, the future owners should still definitely do their homework prior to getting one.
Being that Sarplaninac is very rare in U.S and all.
And because they are so rare, I don't think they should be crossbred with Great Pyrenees or other LGD's.
Btw, you, Bekim and Suha's Kid Sarplaninac kennel have some truly beautiful Sarplaninac dogs. Some of the best looking Sarplaninac's I've ever seen
