Abstract

The research involved 95 pure breed Croatian sheepdogs, 48 females and 47 males ranging in age from 1 to 12 years. Blood samples were taken to establish certain biochemical indicators (urea, creatinine, total proteins, glucose, total bilirubin, AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, amylase, Ca, P). No changes were observed through comparison of average values. Blood samples of 30 dogs, from that group, also were taken to establish blood group DEA (Dog Erythrocyte Antigen) 1.1. and standard haemogram. In 27 dogs (90.0%) the blood group DEA 1.1., was found, which is a significantly higher percentage than in all investigations to date. It
was observed that the average values of all haematological indicators were within physiological parameters
