The dog demonstrates a possessive attitude toward family, livestock, and property.
The name "Sharplaninec" is a Macedonian word, and means Shara Mountain Dog.
These powerful dogs have been guardians of flocks of sheep for thousands of years in the area of Shar Mountain (Sar Planina; Shara; Ljuboten), but also at other mountains in Macedonia, like: Korab, Bistra, Mavrovo, Pelister...
Since Shara Mountain also extends into neighboring Serbia (southern Kosovo), the Sharplaninac dog can be found there, too.

Sarplaninec -- nasata gordost

Sarplaninci Makedonija
gordos nasa
Mnogo je bolje raditi na promociji rase, nego diskutovati o imenu iste. Za Srbiju to je Sarplaninac, Makedonija - Sarplaninec, a Albanija - Ilirski ovčar.
ENG: A sarplaninac is a dominant and very intelligent dog. It never barks without reason! They are extremely committed to the children and will defend its master at the cost of living.
