	==History==
	This Bosnian Tornjak has existed in ] for the past thousand years, which can be proven with written documents. At this time, the tornjak was registered under the name Kanis montanus, which means mountain dog. However, the local people gave it the name tornjak (tor: enclosure for sheep, and cattle). Tornjak was registered as a autochthonous breed on the 9th of May, 1981 with the name "Bosnian-Herzegovinian sheepdog - tornjak."

	At that time, Yugoslavian pedigree was opened for the tornjak. A judge commission was formed with the goal to do everything needed for the standard of the breed and it's recognition with the FCI as an autochthonous breed with the above mentioned name. The standard was done on the 5th of October 1990 in ] in central ].

	Now, there are not many recognized breeds that have documents this old and precise about their existence, it's shape, height, color and purpose, as it is the case with the tornjak. For a long time, the tornjak resisted to all other dog breeds that it had contact with.

	The most likely origin of the tornjak is the following. When the South ] came to the ] they brought the tornjak with them. According to recent studies the tornjak is most likely the descendant of the Tibetan Mastiff, approximately from the area around nowadays ]. The environment has created a healthy and strong dog, with modest needs for food and shelter, and a great watchdog.

	==Appearance==
	]
	The Bosnian Tornjaks can be multicolored, tricolored and with two colors. Most favoured dogs are the ones with a lot of colour, especially sharp differences in color. The face should be lighter than the body, preferably having a white line down the middle of the head. Height of the males is 60 cm (23.62 inches) and more, and females are 56 cm (22.04 inches) and more. The length of the body is about 8% the height of the male dogs, and 10% the height of the females. The height of the chest is 45% of the total height, but deeper chest is also allowed.

	==General Characteristics==
	Tornjaks are friendly with people, but aggressive towards other animals and dogs that threaten their owner, home, sheep pen or the flock. They like to work and take commands from their owners and they are normally easily trained.
	The Tornjak is persistent in performing given tasks, with a good understanding of the master’s requests and training requests. It is also an incorruptible dog, with a necessary dose of suspicion toward strangers. Another one of its characteristics is that the tornjak is also quite resistant to illnesses and it has modest requests regarding feeding and breeding. For example, during the snowing winter nights, these dogs lie on the ground so that is often gets covered by snow. Also genetically speaking, this is a very dominant dog. The body of the dog is strong and well built, with harmonious and dignified movements.
	The look is specified, clear, self-confident, serious and calm. The hair is rich with such configuration that adequately protects the body against bad weather conditions. The tail is shaggy, kept high like a flag.

	==Morophological Characteristics==
	The muzzle is dully cuneiform and often diverged but we can come across other types of head. Dogs over four years of age have incomplete teeth, often compared to pliers, which are distinguished from those of younger dogs that have teeth like scissors. The eyes are brown often with a darker shade. The earlaps are very mobile, especially whilst moving, when they are placed at the back of the head. As a result of such placement of earlaps, external auditive aperture is uncovered, which is the authentic mark of the breed. Ears are usually pressed to the head when the dog is relaxed and allowing for an exception to this rule is one centimeter. Ears are of middle length, with a triangular form and covered with coat. The crossing from the neck to the body is almost imperceptible. The body and the back have a regular construction, whilst the rump has a mild oblique position. The chest is broad and strong, and is grown over with a dense coat so tornjak often looks a lot greater than it actually is. The coat at the neck has a form of a mane. Special characteristic of this dog is its tail that is brought over the back line. That position of the tail indicates the position of dog amongst the herd of sheep, and is determined work the dog is performing. That position of tail also indicates the dominant role of this dog in order to distinct itself from the other kinds of dogs surrounding the same herd.

	==External Characteristics==
	Average at withers adult male is 65 - 70 cm (25.59 - 27.55 inches), female 58 - 65 cm (22.83 -25.59 inches) , average hearth girth adult male is 88 - 92 cm (34.64 - 36.22 inches), female 73 - 77 cm (28.74 - 30.31 inches), average body length adult male is 72 - 75 cm (28.36 - 29.52 inches), female 63 - 67 cm (24.80 - 26.37 inches), girth left metacarpus adult male 14 - 16 cm (5.51 - 6.29 inches), female 11 - 13 cm (4.33 - 5.11 inches). Average weight adult male is 35 - 50 kg (77 - 110 lbs), female 28 - 40 kg (62 - 88 lbs).

An editor has launched a copyright investigation involving this section. The text under investigation is currently hidden from public view, but is accessible in the page history. Please do not remove this notice or restore blanked content until the issue is resolved by an administrator, copyright clerk, or volunteer response agent.

The purported copyright violation copies text from http://www.bhtornjak.com/html/otornjaku_en.htm (Copyvios report); as such, this page has been listed on the copyright problems page.

Unless the copyright status of the text of this page or section is clarified and determined to be compatible with Misplaced Pages's content license, the problematic text and revisions or the entire page may be deleted one week after the time of its listing.

What can I do to resolve the issue?

If you hold the copyright to this text, you can license it in a manner that allows its use on Misplaced Pages.
1. You must permit the use of your material under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).
2. Explain your intent to license the content on this article's discussion page.
3. To confirm your permission, you can either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under CC BY-SA and the GFDL. See Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials.
4. Note that articles on Misplaced Pages must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Misplaced Pages.
You can demonstrate that this text is in the public domain or is already under a license suitable for Misplaced Pages. Explain this on this article's discussion page, with reference to evidence. Misplaced Pages:Public domain and Misplaced Pages:Compatibly licensed may assist in determining the status.
Otherwise, you may rewrite this page without copyright-infringing material. Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage. Please mention the rewrite upon completion on this article's discussion page.
- Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Misplaced Pages:Close paraphrasing.)
- For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
- It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Misplaced Pages and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.
