Talk:Tatra Shepherd Dog

Owczarek Podhalanski
In case anyone cares for etymology: I can't find out what the job of a sheep-herder is called in polish, but "owczarek" appears to be reserved for dogs, although grammatically it would seem an appropriate word form for the profession. --BjKa (talk) 15:12, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

 * -anski is the adjective word ending. It should correctly be written with ń.
