The Tornjak is a giant, incredibly powerful, and profoundly courageous livestock guardian hailing from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Possessing a stunning, thick white double coat with colored patches, they were bred to protect flocks from wolves and bears in the brutal Dinaric Alps.
The Tornjak is surprisingly gentle and deeply affectionate with its family, especially children. However, their guarding instincts are profound and they are naturally highly suspicious of strangers. They require massive early socialization to prevent severe aggression. They are not suited for urban living and need vast space. Their thick double coat requires intense, regular brushing.
