Introduction
Tornjak is a large-sized livestock guardian dog with stable personality. The name Tornjak has been derived from the term Tor meaning enclosure for sheep and cattle.
The breed originated in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. It was initially called Kanis Montanus meaning Mountain Dog but the local people preferred to call it Tornjak.
The breed is believed to have been in existence since thousands of years. Research indicates that these pastoral dogs are most probably descendants of Tibetan Mastiff dogs.
