Among the many rare breeds, we share with you now is the Dogo Sardo (or more correctly the Dogo Sardesco or Cane Sardo), a Rare and fairly unknown breed outside Italy.
This is a typical lightweight molosser used as a guard dog, livestock guardian dog, and a working dog.
In their homeland sardinia, Dogo Sardo has many monikers. They are also known as the Sardinian dogo, the Gavoese Shepherd, sorgolìnu, cane perdigatzu, Pertogatzu, Jagaru, trighinu, Dogo Sardenesco, Cani Trinu, Beltigadu, etc.
They were thought to be extinct but it was rediscovered due to the extreme efforts of canine expert Roberto Balia in the year 2000.
He tracked down several specimens of Dogo Sardo in the heart of Sardinia, then publishing the results of his research in the book “Canis Gherradoris” in 2005.
Thanks to his work, interest has grown about the revival of this breed that has remained unknown for centuries.
Still today, the Dogo Sardo is present in Sardinia in smaller numbers, mostly in the rural areas of the region.
This geographical isolation of the breed has also strengthened the purity of the blood, guaranteeing their appearance to be almost unaffected for centuries.
The rare breed has always supported Sardinian farmers by doing all types of work in the countryside and this has tempered their attitudes.
At first glance, his appearance seems that of an aggressive dog, but he is an excellent pastoral dog for the protection of livestock and a delicate as well as a caring companion to farmers.
