Vala Liburna tornjak kennel www.valaliburna.hr Tornjak kennel "Vala Liburna" / Uzgajivačnica tornjaka "Vala Liburna" Vala Liburna is not a commercial tornjak kennel.

We base our breeding on love toward dogs and the breed. Our dogs live with us, in our house, yard, room. They travel with us, they spend vacations with us. We don't keep our dogs in crates and we don't have large number of dogs in our home. Part of the dogs live with co-owners and in arrangements with people that have them as pets. We show our dogs regularly, for fun, friends, dog socialization, p

resentation of our breeding and comparison with other dogs in the breed. Our dogs are under regular veterinary control. Dogs that are used in breeding have their hips x-rayed, and most of them even elbows. Part ofl dogs in our kennel have their DNA profile made so parenthood can be proved to their progeny. We feed our dogs with combination of natural food and superpremium dog food. Every Vala Liburna litter is bred because of believe that particular combination can contribute to the breed and breeding. We look for a good, loving homes for our puppies. We look for homes for all dog's life with people that are aware of potential difficulties of having tornjak but also all beautiful traits and moments that they will for sure have with them. Feedback about health and temperament of our puppies is highly important to us. When we think that puppy has a potential we look for the owners that will show the dog and make all necessary for the responsible breeding or make an arrangement with us to do the same. Tornjaks are our native breed and it is on us to take care of it.

How Does a Tornjak Think?
The Tornjak is a dog that is highly aware of its surroundings. It has an excellent ability to notice patterns and rules, quickly registering even the smallest changes. If you take it out of its familiar environment, alter just one detail, and then bring it back, you can be certain that this change will be the first thing it investigates.

This breed has a remarkable understanding of context, which can sometimes give the impression of a “split personality.” If we don’t understand how a Tornjak thinks, we might be surprised by completely different reactions when moving it from one context to another.

For instance, you might have a well-socialized Tornjak that behaves impeccably while walking through the city or sitting at a café, unbothered by passersby. However, that same dog might surprise you with barking when you take it into nature and encounter unfamiliar visitors. Similarly, you could walk the same familiar path at different times of the day and feel as if you’re walking two completely different dogs. During a training session, the Tornjak might be obedient and attentive, but in other situations, it could ignore your commands as if it had never been trained at all.

My first Tornjak, Vala, once barked in the forest at a plastic bag caught in tree branches by the wind, curiously observed a woman in the city wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and reacted with barking at an oversized statue of a runner on a popular walking path. That was my introduction to Tornjaks, and my experiences with others only confirmed what she had already shown me.

What does your Tornjak react to when out of context?

What else do Tornjaks do? (When they’re not guarding livestock)
Mantrailing
Lutka Vala Liburna, better known as Lumi, is training mantrailing.
Mantrailing is a canine discipline where a dog searches for a person using their scent. It is typically practiced in urban environments, with the help of the person’s scent, a long leash, and a reward like food or play.
What happens in mantrailing?
The most important aspect of mantrailing is the collaboration between the handler and the dog.
The dog uses its sense of smell and mental abilities while moving, and the handler provides motivation and guidance. Dogs are trained to ignore environmental distractions.
The goal isn’t speed but working in increasingly challenging conditions and developing motivation.
How did Lumi adapt?
Lumi is a 2.5-year-old female Tornjak who started training at 8 months old.
• She is quick and accurate in makidecisions.
• She has no fears – crowds, noises, and people don’t distract her.
• Dogs and cats are minor challenges, but she keeps working even when a cat crosses her path!
Challenges and solutions
Like most Tornjaks, Lumi isn’t highly motivated by play or food. Unlike some other breeds, it’s hard to find an effective and systematic motivator for her.
In training, we use a combination of food, play, and petting (which she adores) to keep her motivated.
Hormonal changes during her heat cycles have affected her performance, but those fluctuations are now reduced to a minimum.
A Tornjak in mantrailing
Many find it incredible to see a Tornjak excel in a discipline like mantrailing, as it contrasts with their natural instincts.
Lumi successfully ignores distractions, and after training, she switches back to her “Tornjak mode,” behaving as a natural guard dog.
We enjoy the training sessions, both of us end up tired, and I’m thrilled to showcase this fascinating breed in a completely different context.
Thank you Matejka Ivančić, Lumi’s owner

Meet the Tornjak vol.4

The Tornjak is not suitable for defense training, but basic obedience and socialization courses from an early age are recommended, always using positive reinforcement and motivation.
It is independent in its thinking and somewhat inclined to do things its own way, so one should not expect immediate obedience.
Persistence and consistency in working with a Tornjak, as well as positive training methods, will encourage the dog to cooperate even in situations that are unnatural or contrary to its instincts.
Rules and habits are essential for a Tornjak, so it is important that rules are clear and unchanging from an early age.
The Tornjak is a dog that can adapt to new living conditions and environments if it finds itself in such a situation. It can also manage life in the city, but it is crucial that the owner is aware of its inherent nature, instincts, and needs.
To its family, the Tornjak will often seem like another person, with a strong personality and its own ideas.

Koma - Bura 19.08.2007.-26.11.2019.

Danas je 5 godina da nema Bure. U pedigreu Koma, a meni Bura, princeza kravarica, bila je Tornjakuša s velikim T. Najljepsa glava koju sam vidjela, divno i skladno kretanje, dlaka s koje je voda sklizila, karakter pouzdan, stabilan i prgav po potrebi. Njenoj, naravno. Od cuvanja stada do trcanja ringom, a najvise uzivanja u setnjama i izlezavanja na kaucu, sve je mogla, sve je znala, u svemu je bila dobra. Tvrdila sam da zna brojati jer bi se uredno napuhivala na pse dok brojka tuđih ne bi presla brojku nasih, a nakon toga bi naprosto odlucila ne vidjeti pse oko sebe. Obozavala je ljude, obozavala je mene. Toliko da me je jednom docekala na farmi na kojoj je tada zivjela, skacuci na zadnjim nogama od veselja. Taj dan sam po nju dosla jer ju je lupio auto i kasnija snimka je pokazala spiralni prijelom natkoljenice. Od nje sam naucila kako tornjaci podnose bol. Od nje sam naucila i koliko im je bitniji covjek i ljubav nego sva sloboda ovog svijeta. Jer imala je slobodu na farmi, spavala u sjeniku, na rubu livade prema sumi, neograniceno kretanje pa ipak bjezala je meni. Bjezala je u manje prostora, vise ogranicenja, ali nemjerljivo vise paznje i ljubavi.
Taj sam dan pred 5 godina pisala ovo:

Draga moja princezo kravarice,
Nema te vise. Nema te vise. Moram si ponoviti jer zvuci nestvarno. Draga moja Burice, Buki, ‘ercegovko prgava, toliko si toga bila, a tako je tesko izvuci rijeci sada. Sjecam se prvog susreta, ono kad si uz pomoc dragih ljudi proputovala od Posusja do Splita pa Ogulina i na kraju do Rijeke po katastrofalnim uvjetima na cesti i buri koja je zatvarala dionice. Tako si i dobila ime po kojem te svi znaju - Bura. Zapravo, tvoje su ga okice same meni prenijele dok smo se vozile prema kuci. Te iste oci koje su me tada proucavale i odlucile da mi vjeruju, te iste smeđe oci iza kojih je velika lijepa dusa, danas su mi zadnji put dale svoje povjerenje. Ono kad je trebalo odluciti da je kraj.
Bila si kravarica tu na brdu, sa svojim prijateljem Kadijem, uvijek cista i uredna. Krala si jaja sa sjenika, uvijek prva pila netom izmuzeno mlijeko, spavala na kaucu na verandi ili na rubu livade prema sumi, pratila si kravice na pašu, a ja sam te morala zatvarat da ne otpratis i mene doma svaki put kad bi dosla. Tamo si naucila cuvati i nebo pa si godinama nakon toga jos dizala cijeli copor trcati za dronom ili nekom letjelicom...u trenu kad si s farme dosla kod mene za stalno mislila sam da ce ti faliti tolika sloboda koju si tamo imala, ali ispostavilo se da nije. Smetala ti je jedino Lyra koja je po tebi zauzimala tvoje mjesto sefice. Zato si i bila presretna pred 4 godine na dan kada smo se od nje oprostili. Zivot ljubimca si rado prihvatila - baka je govorila da si lijena i da volis spavat i jest. Tata te je jako volio, posebno si mu bila draga. I lijepa. Lijepa si bila, zaista. Tvoju cu glavu traziti u svim tornjacima zauvijek. Tu plemenitost i sklad. Ostavila si trag i u pasmini, nadam se da cemo ga odrzati za buducnost.
Ono sto znam da ostaje svakako je trag koji si ostavila u meni. Mislim da sam se tebi divila na razlicite nacine u razlicitim djelovima tvojeg zivota. Ali ovo na kraju, zadnju godinu, kad bi ja odustala nebrojeno mnogo p**a, a tvoja volja za zivotom, ljubav prema zivotu, to nije dozvoljavala... ovo na kraju je bila lekcija. Ne ona Lyrina da se zivi punim plucima do zadnjeg trena, nego nesto posve drugacije - zivot vrijedi i kad se boris za svaki korak, kad te noge ne slusaju, kad je pad dio kretanja...jer tako klimava dođes do livadice, uđeš u lokvu vode, legnes na travu i za taj divni trenutak sve vrijedi!
Vrijedilo je zivot dijeliti s tobom, hvala ti, divna tornjakušo, princezo kravarice, lavice, prgava ‘ercegovko, Buki...hvala ti Bura, zbogom moja curice!

Olujna Kiša Vala Liburna
14.08.2016.

Cekala sam to stene. Kišu. Preko 6 godina je prošlo od rođenja do tada najmlađe članice naseg copora, Istre. I bilo je vrijeme za Kišu. Nisam tada razmisljala o simbolici njenog imena, ali da, trebala mi je tada kao kiša. Drzala sam Vilu za sapu citav dan i cekala ta njena dva steneta. Naravno da je bilo napeto. Dosla je druga, nakrcana plodne vode i trebalo se posteno potruditi da kako spada prodise. A onda…onda je krenuo zivot s njom ❤️ od pocetka kao da je znala da je njeno mjesto uz mene. Od pocetka kao da je znala da je njena energija toliko potrebna. Naucila sam je na punu paznju jer me stalno podsjecala da treba zivjeti u trenutku. I otkrivala sam nanovo svijet s njom. Veseli, saroliki svijet. Prva od nove garde, zadnja od stare garde, Kisa je dosla u godine kada je mozemo nazvati starim psom. Ne djeluje tako. A opet, mozda malo i djeluje. Zadnjih godina ne dobiva punu paznju, ne onako kao nekada. Dobiva znacajno manje. Imamo se manje i srce me stisne kad mi takve misli prođu kroz glavu. Zeljela bih moci dati vise od sebe mojoj Kikici. Veseli me svaki moment kada uspijem, kada sam njena kao nekada, barem kratko. Kad ozivimo najbolje iz nekih drugih vremena. Znam da necu jako dugo moci onako kao nekad, znam da mozda ona nece dozivjeti mene koja mogu dati punu paznju samo njoj, bojim se da cu samo njena opet biti u trenucima kad se budemo oprastale… i boli. To bas boli. Ali znam da je sve vise dana kada mogu vise dati, a i da vise nisam jedina kojoj se veseli… a Kisa? Ona ne zamjera nista. Raduje se svakom zajednickom trenutku, svakoj setnji i momentima paznje. Sa svojim pogledom, sapom koja ne pusta, njuskom koja drmne ruku, najslađim tockicama na nosu…moja Kikica ❤️ najposlusniji i najodaniji tornjak u nasem coporu ikad ❤️

Meet the Tornjak vol.3
The tornjak has excellent spatial orientation and a strong sense of territory and its boundaries. It possesses an outstanding memory, primarily spatial, but also for other animals and people. The tornjak unfailingly recognizes livestock belonging to its herd, as well as people who are part of its community; however, new members of the herd or community need to be introduced to it in the correct way.

It is not dependent on humans and does not seek constant attention, but it chooses to be near people when possible and clearly shows affection. It is very attached to its family. The tornjak loves children, is gentle and patient with them, and adjusts its behavior to suit them. It is also attentive to elderly and vulnerable individuals.

Young tornjaks benefit from space, freedom of movement, and exposure to the world and various stimuli, as this helps them learn to make the right decisions in assessing situations and grow into stable members of their breed.

Malik Vala Liburna

Drugi ostenjeni deckic tek je nesto manji od brata i na okotu je težio 669g. Prosaran, s dva velika krila i puno boje na glavi, ovaj trobojni deckic na prvu vuce na Burina i njegovu familiju. Njegov je dolazak na svijet prosao puno mirnije nego bratov, a i on je za sad nesto mirniji. Ali tko zna, jer zapalo ga je ime Malik.
Malik Tintilinić poznati je lik iz Šume Striborove, Ivane Brlić-Mažuranić, ali i ona ga je posudila iz usmene predaje. Malik je u pricama ovih krajeva postojao prije dolaska Slavena, a razlicita mjesta imaju svoju pricu i interpretaciju ovog lika. U Primorju je Malik djecak dobre naravi, ali sklon nestašlucima. Neka takav bude i nas Malik kojem, kao i bratu, trazimo dobar dom. Po mogucnosti onaj u kojem ce ostati dostupan i pridonijeti pasmini Tornjak.

Mraz Vala Liburna

Ovaj veliki bijeli decko nas je posteno namucio. Mami Munji trebala je pomoc da osteni 700g steneta koje je odlucilo prvo izaci. Nogice i repic smo vidjeli, ali su se stalno odlucile vracati. Munjina Andrea zagrlila je svoju ljubimicu, a ja sam asistirala mami koja je vikala od boli. Njeno vikanje popratio je citav copor lajanjem, a ugasili su se tek u trenu kad je citav ovaj kraj zadrmao potres. 10 minuta intenzivnih emocija i događanja obiljezilo je njegov dolazak na svijet. Kao i hladnoca. Prva prava hladnoca kao najava zime. Dan kad su planinski vrhovi u okolici dobili bijelu kapicu. I najvece prirodno ostenjeno Vala Liburna stene.
Mraz je smrznuta rosa, a slicno ime nosi njegova baka po tati - Inja. Najzivlji je i raste naocigled.
Oba decka nekako vuku na razlicite strane familije - Mraz me podsjeca na Tempa. Voljela bih da nam oba ostanu dostupna za daljnji rad u pasmini.

Mareta Vala Liburna

Krecem naopako, od zadnje ostenjene i jedine zenkice. Dame imaju prednost, decki nek pricekaju. Jedina kcer mame Munje, Mareta, za sad je mirnija od svoje brace, ali vjerujem da samo skuplja energiju za ono sto ce nam pokazati kasnije. Najmanja je, iako je to tesko reci za stene ostenjeno s 596g.
Mareta je lagano namreškano more. Ono more koje nije mirno kao u bonaci, ali ne mozemo ga nazvati ni valovitim. Neka i ona bude na mjeru, lagano živahna, bez velikih valova.
Njena je obitelj vec s nestrpljenjem ocekuje, a znate da to znaci da ostaje dio nase prosirene Vala Liburna familije 🥰

Dobar dan i laku noć svijete
