OD SRPSKIH PLANINA
HEALTH
The breed is very spartian as food is concerned. Selected in very difficult conditions of scarce food supply in a fierce climate, this breed is used to little. This dog doesn't eat more than a German Shepherd and much less than a Setter. Its needs are minute compared to other Molossoid dogs. Through out its growth though, he must be fed an harmonious diet, quite rich on proteins and calcium. | ![]() |

Sarplaninci must live outside. They need space in order to develop harmoniously. If they are happy to spend an hour or so in the bosom of the family, a heated room is not called for and they will want to get out. |

It is a "snowdog". A white winter day is the best he fancies, as you will see by its gait. As all dogs, he loves walking with its master. |

Sarplaninci do not need to be bathed except for seldom and most unusual "mishaps". Keeping its coat is best done once a week with a wirebrush or curry-comb, daily when coat changing. Mind the ears, and see to internal and external parasites. | ![]() |
