Already on frescoes ( 1474, St. Mary's Chapel in Beram near Pazin ), paintings (among Titian, first half of 18th century ) and chronicles ( 1719, Bishop Bakić Đakovo ) is shown this type. The stud book was opened, however late, as so often in dogs that are naturally used. The first entries date from 1924. 1949 was the recognition by the FCI, however, a standard was not published until 1973.
