    Default Sardinian Greyhound

    The Levriero Sardo (in italian) or Cani de lčpori (in sardinian language means hare hunting dog) is one of the rarest breeds of dogs in Italy, with only 100 specimens existing with a few breeders dedicated to the breed. The breed is very old; it is believed that these dogs were taken to the island of Sardinia by phoenician traders. There are two bloodlines: one characterized by a light brown coat, and the other by a black coat. It is a sighthound used to hunt hares, which stands 58 to 62 cms to the withers and weighs 18 to 22 kg.

    Default Dogo Sardesco

    Dogo Sardesco or Dogo Sardo is a breed of dog used as a guard dog, livestock guardian dog, working dog.

    Rare and fairly unknown outside Italy, the Dogo Sardesco was developed in the villages of Sardinia as an all-around working Molosser. Equally adept as an aggressive watchdog, protective cattle herder and a dedicated farmdog, the breed is so valued by the Sardinian people that they routinely refuse to sell their puppies to strangers. Because of this attitude, it is also hard to determine the breed's heritage. It is almost certain that its ancestry lies in the same root stock as the rest of the old Cane E Presa population of Italy, from which the Neapolitan Mastiff, Cane Corso, Bucciriscu Calabrese and others come from. The Dogo Sardesco is rarely seen outside its native region and no written standards are known to exist. Added confusion is created by reports of two separate Sardinian breeds under this name, one being the Pastore Fonnese, a typical bearded sheepdog, while the real Dogo Sardo is known locally as the Cani Pertiatzu and is a shorthaired bully breed, similar to the Cane Corso. This confusion comes from this name wrongly being used for the Mastino Fonnese, which is the smooth-coated variety of the Pastore Fonnese, achieved by crossing the Fonnese Sheepdog with the Dogo Sardo.

    The Dogo Sardo is a very muscular and athletic working dog, differing from the Cane Corso in some facial features, having a longer muzzle and tighter skin. Some rural dogs have fairly lupoid muzzles, but their purity is questionable. The body is lean and strong, with a powerful neck and sturdy legs. The ears were usually cropped, sometimes completely removed, while the tail could be both docked or left in its natural state. The coat of the Canis Pertiatzus is short and smooth, usually red, grey, black or brindle in colour, but some working specimens are also common in other shades, as well as having slightly rougher coats. This rugged dogge rarely exceeds 24 inches in height, but since there are no set size limits, a variety of heights can be encountered.

    Default Sardinian Meadow Brown

    The Sardinian Meadow Brown (Maniola nurag) is a butterfly belonging to the Nymphalidae family. It is a small butterfly with orange and brown colouring. The butterfly is only found in Sardinia.


    It is not uncommon at higher altitudes on Mt Gennargentu. It starts flying in mid May. It is superficially similar to the Meadow Brown (Maniola jurtina) which also flies on this island.


    In overall appearance Sardinian Meadow Brown has much more extensive orange on the upperside, slightly warmer than jurtina and the underside coloration is more uniform. As can be seen from the photographs above it is a rather variable species like most of the other Maniola species.

    Default Sardinian Long-eared Bat

    The Sardinian Long-eared Bat (Plecotus sardus) is a species of bat endemic to Sardinia.


    First identified as recently as 2002, the Sardinian long-eared bat (Plecotus sardus) has brownish fur on the back, relatively large thumbs and thumb claws, and a relatively long and wide tragus.

    All Plecotus bats are distinguished by their relatively enormous ears, which measure up to four centimetres long and are joined at the base by a prominent septum. Although very closely related to other European long-eared bats, especially the brown long-eared bat (Plecotus auritus) and the mountain long-eared bat (Plecotus macrobullaris), genetic analysis distinguished this species from other long-eared bats.

    Default Sardinian Dormouse

    The Sardinian Dormouse (Glis glis melonii) is a very rare dormouse subspecies endemic of Sardinia.


    It was considered extinct for 25 years, however from 2006 sightings and catches have established that this rare dormice is alive. It inhabits the Supramonte (sardinian central higlands) and it's findable in the Ollolai's woods.
