The Basque Shepherd Dog, Basque: Euskal Artzain Txakurra, Spanish: Perro de Pastor Vasco, is a traditional Spanish breed of sheepdog originating in the historic Basque Country.[1]: 535 It is believed that they originated from Central European herding dogs.[citation needed]
It is one of five Basque breeds of dog – the others being the Erbi Txakur, the Pachón de Vitoria, the Villano de Las Encartaciones and the Villanuco de Las Encartaciones[2][3] – and one of fourteen animal breeds native to the País Vasco.[4]
