Kilmės istorija

The word “barak” is translated as “rough”, “shaggy”, and this is a fairly accurate description of the wool of the Bosnian barak breed representatives: they are very shaggy, and the wool does not descend in soft waves, as, for example, in yorkie, but rather hard bristling. The ancestors of the Bosnian barracks were known in the Balkans as early as the 3rd century BC and were called Celtic barracks. However, the breed itself was bred in the 19th century by hunters who needed four-legged helpers capable of holding game until a person arrived. Thanks to their thick wool, Bosnian barracks are able to withstand even the severe cold that is not uncommon in the mountains.

The breed was registered in International Cynological Federation (FCI) June 19, 1965 under the name Illyrian Hound. However, then the standard was supplemented and corrected, and the breed received the official name – “Bosnian coarse-haired hound – barak”.
