Welcome to Sharplaninec.com!
 This website
is dedicated to the Sharplaninec {pron.
ʃɑɹ·plɑ·ni·nɛts},
a legendary dog breed of ancient nobility. The Sharplaninec probably
comprises the oldest true Molosser in the world, rendering it to be of key
importance not only in cynological but moreover historical terms. The name
“Sharplaninec” (Шарпланинeц) is a Macedonian word and basically means Shara
Mountain Dog, whereas the Serbian equivalent “Šarplaninac” actually
represents the much more common spelling of this name. Nevertheless, the
Sharplaninec is an autochthonous breed of Macedonia, where it still can be
found in respectable numbers to this present day. Today, these powerful dogs are
employed as unrivaled protectors in the area of Shara Mountain as well as
Korab, Bistra, Stogovo, Mavrovo, Pelister and Deshat. However, as Shara Mountain
itself extends from Macedonia well into neighboring Serbia (southern Kosovo),
today the breed is consequently registered under the accurate name
MACEDONIAN-YUGOSLAV SHEPHERD DOG - SHARPLANINEC. The Sharplaninec is a
truly ancient breed and the privilege and responsibility that comes with
caring for this breed should therefore be shared by all peoples from this Balkan
region. It is the authentic genuine archetype of the Sharplaninec, which
today is endangered and in great need of protection and promotion in order
to ensure its preservation for future generations. In this spirit the
emphasis here will be on pure Macedonian specimens and hence the Macedonian
spelling Sharplaninec.com.
