Serbian Defensive Dog

The Serbian Defensive Dog is a reincarnation breed of dog.
Development
The Serbian Defensive Dog is a breed of dog created in the Romanija Mountains by interbreeding wolves, Mastiff of Napoli, Rottweiler, Tornjak of Bosnia, and American Stafford terrier. Interbreeding was concluded in 1991, the year in which the Serbian Defensive Dog breed was founded.
Each breed which was used to develop the SDD lived in the Balkans sometime in the past. Celts lived in the Balkans, so the decision was made to interbreed the American Stafford terrier (terrier - Irish national dog race), which is a strong and brave dog. Romans lived in the Balkans later, and brought their dogs, called the Pugnaces Britanniae. The Rottweiler and the Mastiff of Napoli are direct descendants of Roman dogs. The Tornjak of Bosnia is a traditional Serbian dog, and wolves naturally coupled with them.
The Serbian Defensive Dog is a restored breed of dog from Serbia's Middle Ages. There are old people in Serbia who tell us stories about an old national breed of Serbian dog, dogs called by their color, not by their breed name. Today, there is not much need for sheepdogs, so these dogs have almost vanished. Nenad Gavrilovic did the selection and reconstruction of that Serbian breed. He gave a name to the breed: Serbian Defensive Dog (Srpski Odbrambeni Pas).
SDD'S JOB
The Serbian Defensive Dog is an excellent property (and personal) guard dog. Also, the SDD can be turned into an ideal home pet. SDD is very tough in battle. Great speed, size and weight are the main attributes of an SDD. Trained, SDD is committed only to its owner and its territory, SDD is able to sacrifice its life for its owner. There is no need for special defense and attacking training. The SDD's nature is very stable. These dogs are very brave and they act quickly. Puppies must be treated with a lot of care. Force must not be used during training.
SDD is often used as fighting dog, and it's not documented that this breed has ever lost a fight.

The Serbian Defensive Dog is 70 - 75 cm tall, weighs 50 - 70 kg, and is usually black, yellow or gray. The hair is medium-length, solid with an undercoat. The head is massive, and the body is muscular.
