Which dog was originally bred closer to the Mediterranean Sea, the Bosnian Coarse-haired Hound or the Alaskan Malamute?
Alaskan Malamute The Alaskan Malamute is a large breed of domestic dog ("Canis lupus familiaris") originally bred for hauling heavy freight because of their strength and endurance, and later a sled dog. They are similar to other arctic breeds, such as the Greenland Dog, Canadian Eskimo Dog, the Siberian Husky, and the Samoyed.
Illyrian Shepherd The Illyrian Shepherd was a dog breed registered with the Fédération Cynologique Internationale FCI since 1939 under Standard number 41 "Illirski Ovcar". In 1957 the FCI changed the name of the breed to "Yugoslavian Shepherd Dog Sharplanina" (Šarplaninac). Up to 16 March 1968 the Karst Shepherd (kraški ovčar) carried the same name. Since then the two breeds are independent.
