Brief History: The
Polish Tatra Sheepdog, originated in the Podhale, a small, mountainous
region in southern Poland. The big, white mountain dog probably came from
Mastiff type origins, which came to Europe from Asia, and Tibet. They have
existed in Polish mountains for thousands of years. Developed as a livestock
guardian, the breed is also used as guide dogs, for personal protection, as
guard dogs on private property, and for military and police work. Although
the breed had most likely existed for hundreds of years in Poland, the
advance of mountaineering in the mid-19th century brought them to the
attention of the outside world. The breed was left almost extinct as a
result of World War II. |
