Tatra Mountain Sheep Dogs UK
We are breeders of Tatra Mountain Sheepdogs ("Podhalans") in the U.K.
We breed our lovely Polish "Podhalan" dogs in a loving family home in the countryside in Scotland.
Our dog and dam are pedigree, FCI recognised champion breed dogs.
Podhalans are a large 'giant' ancient breed bred originally to protect sheep and shepherds from wolves, bears and thieves in the Tatra Mountains of Poland. It was bred to bark the alarm for the shepherd. Therefore, the breed is very loyal, loving and has a desire to be protective of its family. They are like most large breeds active when required to be, but quite happy to relax at other times.
The breed benefit from good leadership by owners who understand how to handle dogs and provide clear boundaries. Fortunately, they respond to kind training very well and appreciate owners who are firm and gentle.
