Croatian Sheepdog


Overview

The Croatian Sheepdog is dutiful, brave and loyal. Croatian Sheepdogs are perfect dogs for shepherds, as they have endless energy, natural herding instincts, and an obedient temperament. So loyal, the Croatian Sheepdog will pick one single master, and only listen to their commands, to the exclusion of everyone else. Their intelligence, athleticism and loyalty make them a unique and outstanding choice for an active owner.
