1/2 Polish Tatra and 1/2 Spanish Mastiff Ranch Dog
The Polish Tatra sire is a very assertive LGD with a heavy white coat. He can be intimidating toward both two legged and four legged intruders, yet uses tremendous sense of judgment discerning what is a threat and what is not. The Tatra is a close working breed (stays very close to the sheep). Koci has sired over 100 working LGD's.

The working Spanish Mastiff Ranch Dog dam was imported from a Spanish sheep farm via Mary Falk. The Spanish Mastiff Ranch Dog differs from the purebred show dogs pictured on the internet considerably thus we have indicated a difference. Our stock are from actual working LGD's, which are much lighter and more agile than the show/pet stock although they are still a very large dog. The Spanish Mastiff is a strong adversary toward four legged intruders, but a very people friendly dog, thus more suited to situations where human visitors frequent. The Spanish Mastiff has a short hair coat and comes in a variety of colors. The Spanish dogs are a little bit further ranging than the Tatra but rarely go more than 2000 feet from the flock to investigate predator activity. If a flock owner has 0% tolerance for a dog outside of the fence the Spanish dog may not be the best choice. However, for those with a little elbow room we have found the Spanish dogs to be very effective. The Spanish Mastiff Ranch Dogs have been the most trustworthy (i.e. gentle) around sheep of all the breeds we have raised.
