      My dedo tells me the sharplanenac dog is one of the fiercest dogs in the world.He said in the mountains he has seen the dog rip the throat of a bear.THe teeth clench so much that nothing can release it as it bites on to the chunks of flesh.A lot of people have great respect for this dog.I would not be surprised if alexander used such a dog in his army.

        I have also heard the story about the sharplaninec being around during ancient Macedonian times, but not sure if there is anything written about it.
        In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.

          Wow a fantastic thread

          The Sharplaninec is one of my favorite Kucina, they are wanted in America and sell for up to $3000 for a puppy. They are a trademark of Macedonia, there is no better loyal dog then a Sharplaninec and its love and respect for its owner is amazing.

          They are very smart dogs and are used to defend cattle from the wolves high up in the mountains and other predators. They cant be choked by Pit Bulls because they got too much thick skin on their necks and it stretches out which makes it very difficult to choke them.

          They come from the Shar Planina regions and they are Macedonian Sheppard Dogs there is no disputing this, we all know that Albanians are not the settlers in Macedonia and Kosovo which makes their claims meaningless.

          As for the Bulgarian President Bojko Borisov giving a dog to Vladimir Vladimirovic Putin in Sofia, thats not a Sharplaninec even though it does look similar here is the footage on the clip.

          МАКЕДОНЕЦ си кога кавал ќе ти ја распара душата,зурла ќе ти го раскине срцето,кога секое влакно од кожата ќе ти се наежи кога ќе видиш шеснаесеткрако сонце,кога до коска ќе те заболи кога ќе слушнеш ПЈРМ,кога немаш ни за леб,а полн си во душата затоа што ја сакаш МАКЕДОНИЈА. МАКЕДОНИЈА во срце те носиме.

            They are very nice dogs and are also very large. I think there's people who bread and sell the Sharplaninec in Australia, it would be good to get one. It is no doubt a Macedonian bread of dog even though our neighbors claim and try steel the Sharplaninec along with our identity, name, history, culture and songs.

                While the origins of the breed are obscured by history, it is believed by some that Šars' ancestry dates back to the time of Alexander The Great. It is also believed that the original mountain shepherd dog (based in the Mollos family) was cross bred with wolves during the Middle Ages to create the 'modern' Sar (certainly the modern Sar resembles a wolf in movement).

                Šarplaninac is one of rare dog breeds which can confront and take down a wolf or a bear.

                One of the interesting physical characteristics of the Sarplaninac are his unusually large teeth that set it apart from most dogs, further proving its old age of origin. Heavily-boned and muscular, the Sarplaninec has a very rich full top-coat, with an abundant dense undercoat, making it fully weatherproof and suited for an outside life. The breed can also work cattle and serve as a guard dog; it was bred and used as a military dog under Marshal Josip Broz Tito.

                Often described by the Macedonian peasants as that of a wolf, a bear and a dragon cursing the Gods in unison. The head is large, with a mastiffy muzzle and powerful jaws

                The Macedonians originates it, the Bulgarians imitate it and the Greeks exploit it!

                  Alexander the Great and His Favorite Dog



                  Alexander the Great, who dominated, conquered, and created one of the largest empires in ancient history had a beloved dog by his side, named Peritas, who was a Molossian dog. Alexander was 11 years old when he got Peritas.* His dog was rumored to have battled an elephant and brought it to its knees. But Peritas greatest loyalty is in the story of how he saved Alexander the Great.* According to legend, Peritas defended Alexander when he was trapped by his enemies and his own soldiers were prevented from rescuing him. Leonnatus, who fought with Alexander hear Peritas barking and told the dog to run to Alexander.* The courageous dog ran through the soldiers and lurched at the enemies who hadjust wounded Alexander with a javelin.* Peritas attacked many of the men, which allowed Alexander’s soldiers to save him before he was wounded again. Peritas, as the story goes was wounded too, but did not survive, as he used his last breaths to put his head on Alexander’s lap.** Peritas name lives on forever in the city of Peritas, in India which Alexander the Great name for his beloved dog. The tomb of his dog and a statue depicting Peritas still exists at the entrance to the city. Alexander had many dogs, but Peritas was his favorite dog.

                  Aristotle, who lived in 384-322 B.C, praises the Molossis dogs and tells us that they served as guardians of the herds, and distinguished themselves from all other dogs through there size and indomitable courage against wild animals.

                  ...and "when serious work has come, when bravery must be shown, and the impetuous War-god calls in the utmost hazard, then you could not but admire the renowned Molossians so much."

                        There are also Beli Sharplaninci who are very good at looking after Sheep, they tend to blend in and when Wolves attack they are there and the attackers struggle to tell the difference between them.

                        Sharplaninci are only good in places where its cold, they tend to struggle in the warmer temperatures. There is a Sharplaninec at the Manastir in Donnybrook.
