Sažetak
Tornjak is recognized as an optional (temporary) indigenous Bosnian and Herzegovinian-Croatian breed by the FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) in 2007 when his official standard was published. Although it had important role as a shepherd dog during the Croatian history, there was a decrease of its numbers due to the changes in lifestyle and needs of the population. At the beginning of the twentieth century this breed almost disappeared but in seventies began active work on standardization, control of breeding and spreading of tornjak, both inside and outside their home countries. Breed standard sets the characteristics of general appearance, character and temperament, as well as a desirable appearance of certain parts of the body and errors that might occur in some individuals. As well as for the other breeds of dogs, the standard describes only the basic physical measurements (body height) and some important ratios. That’s why the aim of this study was to determine the detailed body measurements by gender and age groups. In this way a better insight into the development and morphological characteristics of tornjak can be obtained.
