Hello to all of you owned by Big Dogs,
My 13 yo son and I are the proud owners of 2 Newfs and HIS loyal Rottie. I am hoping that someone in here can steer me to the correct path as I have never encountered this breed and they are very rare. There is a PB Male/N 3 yo Sarplaninac in Dillon, Mt's (excuse) for an Animal Shelter. I rescued my big Newf boy out of there 2 years ago ....and that is another story for another day. I just looked up the breed and they are gorgeous yet only introduced to the U.S in the 1970's. Ashes is good with all pets but cannot seem to bond with men. He adores women and bonds quickly.If anyone thinks they can help this guy out of a dismal situation please email me and I will send you the link to his information. Or, if anyone knows how to send the link to the chat board. The dogs in Dillon are tied or chained with virtually no shelter, a dog house here, tin placed over a corner there. ANY assistance would be great. Sarplaninacs are considered a guard/predator working dog and are HIGHLY intelligent 77-100 lbs although they appear much larger due to their coat (kinda like my 132 and 157 lb Newfs, hehe.) Any help would be appreciated!
4 legged hugs and 2,

Have you tried contacting a Great Pyr rescue or an Anatolian Rescue. I know Angie Wheat handles a lot of LGDs but I think she is booked full of rescues...Most Sarp are over 77 lbs too...might be a bit larger...Do you mind if I cross post?

Babs,
I don't mind at all. I did however get in touch with one of the only UKC people who do Sarplaninac rescue. They have only ever seen like 3 come into rescue. She is going to call the Shelter tomorrow. I would hope the more the merrier to get this guy a loving home, he is a rare gem. Thank you for your help!
