Serbian defense dog 

The man directed the development of the dog in the direction of the primary application of which is the main defense. Defensive dogs are used for storing objects, but also as a business and dogs may find their application in the protection of property and facilities and to help the Customs Service, the military or the police.  In this case, when it comes to Serbian odbambenom dog, legend says that the old Serbian state, better to say that the empire founded Car Dusan (25 December 1345.), which is zahvatala a good part of South East Europe, in the north of Belgrade, Bosnia in the west to St. up to the south, that the state created in the ancestor of SDD, a more accurate "Serbian mastiff. . 
Its origin is closely related to the development of serbian state, because of its expanding and strengthening the economic and created a very strong army, which was developed for the needs of your particular type of dog, mastiff napuljskog crossing with different breeds. 
Car Dusan before the multiple links with the Western Empire, the potential for war to "release" the Holy land and Krstaških campaigns that Rome in the time plan, which due to expansion and strengthening of the Serbian Empire. However, the new krstaških visitation was not anything, nor have the previous celebrated destroyed except the Eastern Roman Empire and Constantinople opljačkali, Dusan wish the rest of the backlog. Dusan knew what his country is waiting, and soon the harder it is to strengthen, as creating a powerful economic alliances, and the creation of a strong military with the power of the army before all the mirrors in opremljnosti, mudroj tactics and discipline, not so much in numeruous. 
What is more characteristic of Czar Dušan, which is associated with the origin of SOPs for his name, is its own imperial guard, which consisted mainly of foreign mercenaries. The guards were mostly soldiers from western countries who have brought with them napuljskog mastiff and explain its advantages and application in the fight, after which they were crossing the existing breed with the mastiff. 
Because of the small number of specimens mastiff in Serbia razmnožen and crossed for the purpose of forming a special unit to fight with infantry and cavalry. It is well known that in the Middle Ages certain breed used in the above mentioned purposes, the additional units that are odlikovalo great mobility and the possibility of sudden attack. They are fear and trembling for pešadiju a favorite target was strelci, who were not able to guess, because they had low, multiple, moving targets. There are sources that claim that obarali dogs and horses, which is unlikely if you think of heavy Konjic, and protected armadillo. Thus, the Serbian imperial army somewhere in the period (the middle of XIV century) got their kereće assault units that are believed to represent the precursor Dušanova assault Brigade. Their only task consisted in the fact that in the short period of time and disable the enemy strelci to sveli losses to a minimum and at the same time opened the space for the penetration of segments. Hostile strelci were used before the start of the battle and were not equipped to direct the battle and to their destruction and penetration Brigade entered the general confusion in the military and many neprijateljskoj facilitate fast time to win, which is a former Serbian army was recognized. However, these units are not held for long fast dissolution of the Empire and the army after Dušanova death. Never the Serbian army was not so strong with the power above all reflected in the unity and discipline. However, the breed has continued to live in the Serb Rector as well as people, long after the dissolution of the Empire. According to the popular use mentioned in the Kosovo battle, when he played a key role in stopping the Turkish Brigade. The national epic songs in the decisive battle of Kosovo is mentioned as the "angry lions." Assumed that the Serbian dog and used much after the battle of Kosovo, but as a guardian, so that his reduced role of the military personal, especially the defense function. 
According to some sources the last copy of this race is just a dog die in mid-twentieth century to the industrious mountain, and his "revival" was launched by the famous herbalist with Romania Nenad Gavrilovic. 

One thing is for sure - Serbia has already had its breed before the formation of the Empire, which could be described as a mixture of Pastirskog Tornjak dog and wolf, which is further Dušanova Empire crossed with Napuljski mastiff, and was introduced much later, another American bloodlines staford terrier. There are a tradition that has developed a special breed that was very appreciated, especially groomed by former vlastele, where for a long time was known as the "Serbian mastiff or mastiff Dusan. The dog was unfortunately lost irretrievably in the historical documents and there is no actual written proof of its existence after the Kosovo battle. It is also very important to note that in the beginning was jurišnik that are crossing and life with the serbian people, following the migration and movement, it pripitomio and odomaćio a lot of the people, which is its function as has already been reduced to the defense said. Is it really mentioned mastiff irretrievably lost or not, is left to history to judge. Serbian state survive during centuries and a very turbulent history, which is this dog related unbreakable. 
His return can be attributed primarily to enthusiasts who are carefully tracking its development, and managed to otmu of oblivion and back to life what we now know it, of which mention the founder of  Nenad Gavrilovic who worked on the formation of breed from 1981 - 1991 year uloživši huge effort, patience and resources. 
Today, "a legend" resurgent in the kennel throughout Serbia. However, today's attempt to participate in the breeder said the type of return, "the Serbian mastiff," must be limited to already developed and crossword jedinke already existing genetic material, that would not be coming to the large deviations and variations. And what will temper every individual is to carry with you and transfer to their offspring much depends on us, because not only bloodlines that this species should mastiff is noble, true and unique. Serbian defense dog is an exceptional dog.
