The Basque Shepherd Dog is a breed of dog originating in the Basque Country and traditionally used by the local shepherds to help them taking care of their cattle and sheep. It is believed that originated from Central European shepherd dogs.
Basque Shepherd Dogs are well proportioned, with strong, rectangular bodies and trotter features. Their eyes are oval and are brown or amber. Finally, the ears are medium sized, triangular and sometimes show folds. The vivid yellow Iletsua’s medium length rough coat is longer over the trunk than over the head and is shorter on the face, but does not hide the eyes. The relation between height and length is about 1/1.2. His head is rather light relative to the trunk, which is attached by a short neck and muscular. His eyes, oval, are brown or amber.
Of the two distinct types of Euskal Artzain Txakurra, the more outgoing Gorbeikoa is the most pure and ancient. It is recognized by the distinct cinnamon colored moderate length hair coat.
