Hey Julie,

My mate bought Sharko from a Borce he is from the Macedon Region of Melbourne or just before the entrance to Melbourne his number is 0405 556 948, I don’t know if he has any litters now, he usually advertises in the Australian Macedonian news paper when he has litters. Give him a call he might be able to help you..

Here is another link from Melbourne..Serbian breeders

The family of mastiff breeds are commonly referred to as Molossers, and are named after those dogs that were originally found in the Balkan region. It is widely believed that the Sarplaninac (pronounced Shar-Pla-Nee-Natz), pictured above (also known as the ‘Macedonian Shepherd dog of Sharplanina’) is a breed of antiquity, believed by many to be one of the oldest true Molosser dogs in the world. The breed takes its name from the Sharplanina mountain range from where it originated. Directly descended from the original ‘Molossian’ sheep dogs of ancient Epirus, some scholars believe the Sarplaninac (or it’s direct ancestors) to be the palace dog of Alexander the Great. Alexander was only a boy of 11 when he got his dog Peritas as a puppy. When Peritas died on a pass to India, Alexander named a city after him. His tomb and a statue of the dog were placed at its gate

Today the livestock guardian breeds of Bulgaria, Albania, Serbia, Greece, Rumania and other Balkan countries are a result of the geographic and selective breeding practices followed by the native peoples of the area. Nevertheless, they all have the same ancestral roots in the original Alaunt and Epirian Moloss stock, once called Molossian dogs by the ancients. Indeed the Sarplaninac Mountain range is but a couple of hundred kilometres from the original Molossi kingdom of Epirus now located on the edge of the Balkan Peninsula in North-West Greece.

The ones we got in macedonia are placid when the owner is around but when theowner is not there it will rip you to shreds.
