[@LouTheShaggyDog]

Thank you Vanessa for caring for our fluffy Lou; your patience, expertise and kind words ❤️ Thanks to everyone showing love and positivity here. Years of slowly desensitizing this giant pup finally pays off! Still have work to do but there was no way he could have tolerated professional grooming sessions in the past. Instead of stressing out our dog and groomers, we decided to slowly desensitize/groom him at home. I debated posting comment here due to ongoing doodle hate/guilt. At the end of the day, our dog's well being is our priority. Proud to say he's a happy and healthy mutt or mix. (A little kindness goes a long way..)

[@DinkyInky2]

You've done amazingly well, and it shows. You know your dog better than anyone else, and know what he will and will not tolerate better than anyone, so kudos to you for taking the time needed to prepare him for professional grooming. He's absolutely gorgeous, and how well you've cared for him shows. Thank you for sharing him.

[@kacierowlette1664]

The breed is called the Šarplaninac (Shar-pla-NEE-nats) because it comes from the Shar Mountains (Šar Planina) on the border between North Macedonia and Kosovo. They look and act much like slightly smaller Caucasian Shepherds, and were used to herd and guard sheep traveling between seasonal pastures in the Shar Mountains and northern Greece. They’re such a symbol of North Macedonia that they’re featured on the back of the one-denar coin!

Hey, if you're worried about pronouncing it, the c n Šarplaninac is pronnounced closer to "ts" than "k". And you should say it a bit slower. So it's "Shar- pla- nee- nats". Thats as close as I can get it for an english speaker :)

[@justynat3395]

Is this breed and the name slovenian, croatian, serbian?

[@mrbananarama]

@@justynat3395 the issue with it being a balkans breed is that most countries in this area are fairly young, and the borders and names have changed many times in history. Also, the languages are all very similar, the only reason they're languages and not different accents of the same language is the borders and history. So it's a balkans breed with a balkans name 😅 it means "Shar mountaineer", Shar being the mountain range they are supposedly originated from.
