(Dog Erythrocyte Antigen) was performed using tests based on serological agglutination reaction. Blood of dogs that showed a positive reaction to the blood group DEA 1.1., intensity of agglutination (low, medium strong and strong) was determined. Posavaz Hounds breed showed 60% dogs positive for DEA 1.1. group, and the Tornjak Hounds breed showed 56.7% positive. In the Tornjak Hounds the strongest positive reaction was found for the largest number of individuals (52.94%), while in the Posavaz Hound breed for most individuals lowest positive response was determined (55.56%). The most intensity of reaction was found in Tornjak Hound females (2.67 ± 0.71) and the lowest in Posavaz Hound males (1.16 ± 0.41). There was a significantly (P<0.05) higher intensity of reaction in the Tornjak Hound females compared to Posavaz Hound females, and significantly (P<0.01) higher intensity compared to Posavaz Hound males.
