Two factors distinguish the Croatian Sheepdog from other dogs: the dominant black body with short hair and the fox-like head and legs. The dog is native to Croatia. It is low to medium height with a wedge-shaped, relatively light head and a black nose. The medium-shaped triangular ears may be erect or semi-erect, while the medium-high tail is thick with long hair. It excels well in any dog sport such as flyball and dog agility trials. Besides, the Croatian Sheepdog can also be used for tracking and herding. This is made possible by its alertness, agility, intelligence, and keenness.
Croatian Sheepdogs have a withers height between 17”-21” (43-53 cm) and a typical weight in the range of 30-45 lb (14-20 kg). The Croatian Sheepdog has an overall body length of roughly 25”-30” (58-76 cm), standing height between 22”-27” (56-69 cm), and a typical lifespan of 12-14 years.
