Brief historical summary
The Macedonian Shepherd Dog is an autochthonous breed whose origin is connected with stockbreeding settlements in Macedonia and the nomadic migrations of the stockbreeders. It is bred continuously centuries ago as a protector of the herds in Macedonia. The stockbreeders had a special cult towards these dogs and for them, it was always a mythical dog. Written records of these dogs can be found in folk songs, but motifs of Karaman are also found on medieval frescoes and iconostases. The most important artefact on which the Karaman is presented is the fresco in the church of St. George in Kurbinovo, Prespa, painted in 1191 and is part of the logotype of the club. The breed is preserved in its authentic form until nowadays by the stockbreeders, whose lives were in constant movement from the summer to the winter pastures.
