Versorging
Temperament
Calm, composed and affectionate with its family, often gentle with children it knows. Reserved with strangers and confident enough to act on its own judgement.
Oefening
Moderate daily walks and space to move around a large garden or farm are enough. It enjoys hiking at a steady pace more than fast running.
Versorging
The long, thick coat needs brushing a few times a week and more during the seasonal moult, when it sheds heavily.
Opleiding
Learns readily with patient, consistent and positive handling, though it may weigh up whether a command is worth following. Early socialisation helps keep its guarding balanced.
Gesondheid
The breed is generally robust, though hip and elbow dysplasia can occur as in other large dogs. Ask the breeder for hip and elbow results on both parents.

Oor die ras
The Tornjak is a shepherd's guardian from the mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, where it protected flocks from wolves and bears. Its name comes from 'tor', the local word for a livestock pen. The breed had almost vanished by the twentieth century and was revived from dogs found in remote villages.
Compared with many flock guardians it is fairly easygoing and sociable within its own group, including other animals it grows up with. It is still a guardian, though, and will bark and stand its ground when something seems wrong. It is happiest with space, a cool climate and a job to watch over.
