Introduction
The following information was collected by measuring dogs from Slavonski Brod and parts of the Brod-Posavina County. Most of the dogs measured were owned and/or bred by the «SLAVONSKI BROD» kennel; others were dogs that had a direct or indirect impact on the dogs bred by the kennel (through linebreeding, which was mostly done between third and fourth generations). Dogs that were not related to the group described above were remained outside the scope of this work.
The known lineage of the dogs used stops at the fourth or the fifth generation; even though parentage was known locally for some of these dogs, their parents had never been registered.
This fact is a major challenge in breeding Croatian Shepherds, and much in evidence in dogs presented at dog shows.
This essay is made up of 20 pages, containing:
1 picture
13 charts
11 tables
3 summary ovierviews of indici
Full date on the names of dogs, their registration numbers, inbreeding coeficient, names of breeders and owners remain with the author.
I am grateful to all the individuals who have helped me in breeding and writing about Croatian Shepherds.

The sample
Between 2000 and 2005, using specimens from the Brod-Posavina County, the author JASMINKO KORMOŠ – BUCO took complete measurements according to all parameters. Part of the measurement data will be presented in this essay.
Size and location of the measured population
The measurement sample was made up of 63 dogs, including 33 males and 30 female dogs, from one to 13 years of age (most dogs were between 2 and 3 years of age). Any subsequent measuring has not been included in this statistics.
Most of the dogs came from the area of Slavonski Brod. A small number of dogs that came from other areas were dogs genetically related to this group, either as parents or as common ancestors of dogs mated to reinforce certain lineage. Their share in this statistics is limited.
Measurements
MEASURING THE CROATIAN SHEPHERD
The length of the head was measured from the tip of the nose, up the bridge of the nose, the stop, the forehead and to the tip of the occipital bone.
The length of the muzzle was measured from the tip of the nose up the nose bridge to the centre of an imaginary line connecting the inner corners of the eyes at the stop.
The circumference of the muzzle was measured at the central point of the nasal bridge, around the bridge of the nose.
The length of the skull was measured from the above mentioned imaginary line connecting the inner corners of the eyes at the stop through the forehead and to the tip of the occipital bone.
The circumference of the head was measured from the front side of the ear base down the cheeks and around the head.
The length of the ear was measured on the inner side of the ear, from the base up to the tip of the ear.
The width of the ear was measured between the left and right side of the ear, at the base of the ear.
The length of the neck was measured from the occiput down the nape of the neck to the tips of the shoulder blades (the withers).
The circumference of the neck was measured at the central part of the neck, around the neck.
The height at the withers was measured from the tips of the shoulder blades (the withers) through the elbow and down the lower forearm vertically to the ground.
The width at the withers was the distance measured between the tips of the shoulder blades (left and right shoulder blades).
The length of the body was measured transversally from the tip of the shoulder transversally across the brisket and loin to the lowest point of the rump.
The length of the back was measured from the tip of the shoulder blade transversally along the side of the spine to the top of the pelvis.
The height at the loins was measured from the top of the pelvis vertically down to the ground.
The waist was measured at the loin and around the abdomen.
The length of the croup was measured as the length of the pelvic bone from top to the lowest point on the same side.
The width of the croup was measured as the distance between the top of the pelvic bone on both sides.
The length of the tail was measured from the tail base to the very tip of the tail.
The width of the chest was measured as the distance between the left and the right shoulder.
The girth of the chest represents the circumference of the brisket from one side over to the other.
The length of the chest was measured from the shoulder across the rib cage to the last rib on the same side.
The depth of the chest was measured from the tip of the shoulder blade vertically down the brisket to the lowest point of the rib cage.
The height at elbows was measured from the top of the elbow (the humerus and radius joint) vertically to the ground.
The height at the knees was measured from the top of the stifle (the femur and tibia joint) vertically to the ground.
The height at the hocks was measured from the top of the hock (the tarsus and metatarsus joint) vertically to the ground.
Other measurements, not presented here, were also taken to be used as parameters in further analysis. Combining different measurements is a good way to learn about the development of the breed and to monitor the changes.
This essay is dedicated to the memory of Jan, my most beloved dog and the common ancestor of the dogs I breed, all descendants of dogs raised in the area of Slavonski Brod.
Overview
N.B.:
Some of the measurements presented in the tables and charts might not match because of a small degree of approximation of the data. The original measurement data are available from the author.

Measurement statistics
Male dogs
The longest male head was 22 cm long, the shortest 16 cm. The mean value of the range was 19.92 cm.
The average height of male dogs was 47.50 cm. This would mean that during the 30 years since the first measurements taken by Professor Romić, the height increased by a bit less than 4 cm.
When compared to the measurements taken by authors other than Romić, the difference is insignificant.
The average length of body was 49.37 cm, or 4% more than the height measured at the withers.

I have not distinguished between the short and tall types in my measurements, but the variance of height was duly documented. When I compare my measurements to those by other authors, the difference seems almost insignificant. Out of the 33 male dogs I measured, 5 were less than 45 cm tall (the shorter type) and 28 were more than 45 cm (the taller type), with 4 of the 28 taller dogs reaching the maximum height or more (all were pets). In all, the number of short dogs measured was significantly smaller than that of the tall dogs.

N:B:: The following charts show the measured range of a particular element (height at withers, length of body, head length)horizontally, and the number of dogs so measured vertically.
Chart 4. Height at the withers: Males
Chart 5. Length of the body: Males
Chart 6. Length of the head: Males
Female dogs
Similar data prevail among the bitches. The head is shorter than the male head by about 1.3 cm, and makes about 42% of the body height.
The body is by 3 cm less elongated than the body of the male dog, or the female is 2 cm i.e. less than 5% longer than it is tall.

THE SAMPLE
All dogs measured were dogs that I have bred or dogs connected with me or my dogs. I have not used any other dog for these measurements.
The measurements were taken in the manner described above, which I have designed.
The names of dogs, their registration numbers, and the names of their breeders or owners shall remain with the author.
