Oooo I like him already (because he's Croatian).
Also separate comment, but should pets stay outside the house? When I was younger I thought it was fine fine but as I got older I started to see how much cleaner a home is when animals are kept outside.
My husbands ancestors are Croatian. It was a lifelong dream of his to get one of these dogs.
I personally do not like pets in the house. I didn’t mind as much before I had kids when I had the time to groom them frequently and do a lot of cleaning up after them. After having kids there was just no way I would be willing to manage it. I can’t stand dog and cat hair everywhere, the smell of litter box or couches that smell like dogs. I know some people with pets inside that are able to mange it well.
In Croatia, on the country side, livestock would often share dwelling with the family. In the morning they would wake up and head to pasture with their Croatian shepherds keeping the animals in line as they traveled on their way.
