@@alfredvrinca, In the Los Angeles area, a dog which is not common here might cost $1,500 - $2,500. But then if they have health issues, the pet doctor is very expensive too. So we hope to have a pet dog who can live a longer and healthy life. Do smaller Illyrian dogs have less health problems?

@@rversocal8889 we call them qen sharri(qen-dog; sharri is a a mountain which there always people keep they sheep and goat, so they cultivate this kind of dog breed) This dogs here even tho we are lower in income than US a puppy of that brred goes $300-400, from a good bloodline. They are tough and big dogs, i've seen a video who show this breed killing 2 wolf was protecting sheep from them. He follow them in snow and didn't stop till they die. Our breed is champion in Balkan, is well known by dog breeders. I don't know if there in US people breed this dog, even if there are dogs like this must be in a albanian family which they took there. Hope this info help you, And this dogs dosen't need to much health care, they need good food(bone and meat) and cold weather lol
