Versorging
Temperament
Balanced, self-reliant and devoted to its family. It watches over its home and flock with quiet confidence and is cautious with strangers. It is slow to anger but firm when it decides to act.
Oefening
Daily walks and time outdoors in a fenced area are usually enough. It enjoys hiking in cool weather but is not suited to intensive sports.
Versorging
Brush the thick coat a few times a week and daily during the seasonal moult. Mud tends to dry and drop out of the coarse outer coat.
Opleiding
Early socialisation is essential. Train with patience and consistency; it learns readily but will question pointless repetition.
Gesondheid
Hip and elbow dysplasia are the main concerns, as in most large breeds; bloat can also occur. Ask the breeder for the hip, elbow and eye results of both parents.

Oor die ras
The Polish Tatra Sheepdog, known at home as the Owczarek Podhalański, guarded sheep in the Tatra Mountains of southern Poland for generations. The white coat made it easy for shepherds to tell the dog from a wolf in poor light.
Today it is a calm, steady companion that still takes guarding seriously. It is usually gentle with its own family and tolerant of other household animals it grows up with, but it will challenge intruders and may bark at night. It wants space, a secure fence and an owner who leads quietly and consistently rather than with force.
