Short summary
The characterization of local sheep breeds, two Slovenian (Bela Krajina and Istrian Pramenka) and four Montenegrin (Bardoka, Sjenička, Pivska Pramenka, and Zeta Žuja), was done on the basis of morphometric measures and indices. The PCA of morphometric parameters extracted three components explaining 96.6 % of cumulative variance. A cluster analysis grouped Pivska Pramenka with Sjenička and Istrian with Bela Krajina Pramenka in two clusters, while Bardoka and Zeta Žuja were clustered separately.
