The Croatian Sheepdog is a dog breed from Croatia. The Croatian sheepdog is of low to medium height and the base color is always black, although there may be very small patches of white on its chest and/or toes.[citation needed] A characteristic is the short hairs on its somewhat fox-like head and legs. The remainder of the coat is longer and wavy or curly. The height at the withers in both sexes is between 16 and 21 inches and the length exceeds the height by approximately 10%. Traditionally the tail is docked very short but, if undocked, it is carried curled over the dog's back.[citation needed] (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
