Kod nas živi sedam izvornih pasmina pasa:<br />
– hrvatski ovčar – najraniji zapis o hrvatskom ovčaru potječe iz 14. st. Đakovački biskup Petar navodi 1374. god. da su Hrvati ovog pastirskog<br />
psa doveli prilikom seobe u Hrvatsku iz svoje prvotne domovine. U prošlosti, gotovo se nije moglo naći seosko gospodarstvo bez hrvatskog<br />
ovčara, on je gospodario seoskim dvorištem i organizirao sva zbivanja u njemu, služio kao nenadomjestiv pratilac stoke na ispašu nedopuštajući<br />
joj da putem zalazi u ratarske površine.<br />
– istarski oštrodlaki gonič i istarski kratkodlaki gonič – pretpostavlja se da je istarski gonič vrlo stara pasmina, još od starih Feničana, a povijesno<br />
je imao značajnu ulogu u lovu i kao osobna pratnja.<br />
– mali međimurski pas – Međi – prema usmenoj predaji, više od sto godina uzgaja se na području sjeverozapadne Hrvatske, u Međimurju i<br />
dio je hrvatske baštine kao pas upotrebljiv u seoskom i gradskom domaćinstvu.<br />
– tornjak – postoji nekoliko teorija o tome kako je nastala pasmina tornjak; neki smatraju da su tornjaka sa sobom doveli Turci, drugi smatraju<br />
da su upravo naše planine prava domovina svih velikih pastirskih pasa. Od svoga je nastanka bio vjeran pratitelj naših tradicionalnih stočara.<br />
– dalmatinski pas – ubraja se u vrlo stare pasmine pasa i značajan je dio našeg kulturno–povijesnog nasljeđa. Zbog svojeg prepoznatljivog i<br />
atraktivnog izgleda čest je kućni ljubimac, što pridonosi očuvanju pasmine.<br />
– posavski gonič – postoji mogućnost da je nastao od goniča s Levanta koji se proširio migracijama iz Male i prednje Azije prema jugoistoku<br />
Europe, povijesno je imao značajnu ulogu u lovu.<br />
There are seven indigenous dog breeds in Croatia:<br />
– Croatian shepherd dog – The earliest records on the Croatian Shepherd dog date back to the 14 th century. In 1374, Bishop Peter of Đakovo<br />
wrote that the Croats brought this shepherd dog with them during the migration to the Croatian lands from their original homeland. In the<br />
past, it was virtually impossible to find a <strong>rur</strong>al household without a Croatian Shepherd dog, as it managed the entire farm and organized all<br />
the activities within, serving as an irreplaceable watcher of the livestock at pasture, and keeping animals out of the cultivated fields.<br />
– Istrian wire-haired scent hound and Istrian short-haired scent hound – it is assumed that the Istrian scent hound is a very old breed, dating<br />
back to the time of the Phoenicians; historically, it has had an important role in hunting and as a human accompaniment.<br />
– Small Međimurje dog – Međi – legend says that this dog has been breed in Northwestern Croatia, in the Međimurje region for more than a<br />
hundred years, and it is part of the Croatian heritage as a very useful dog on <strong>rur</strong>al and urban households<br />
– Tornjak – there are several theories about how the Tornjak breed came to be; some believe that the Turks introduced the Tornjak breed to<br />
this area, other believe that the Croatian mountains are the true homeland for all the large shepherd dogs. Since its origins, it has been a loyal<br />
helper for traditional livestock keepers.<br />
– Dalmatian – this is considered to be a very old breed, and a very significant part of the Croatian cultural and historical heritage. Due to its<br />
recognisability and attractive appearance, it is a common house pet, which contributes to the preservation of the breed.<br />
– Posavina hound – it is possible that this hound originated from a hound from the Levant region, which spread through the migration from<br />
Asia Minor and the Near East towards Southeast Europe; its historical role has primarily been in hunting.<br />
