The Tornjak (pronounced[torɲâk]) is a breed of livestock guardian dog native to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.[1] The name comes from the local word for a sheep pen, "tor". The foundation stock is made up of genetically homogeneous landrace shepherding dogs dispersed in the mountains and valleys of the region.[2] They are molosser-type mountain dogs,[1] similar to other livestock guardian breeds of the region, the Šarplaninac, Bucovina Shepherd Dog, and the Greek Shepherd.
