My half-blood Caucasian shepherd died a few days ago at 10,5 years.... I'm devastated... 😢 He indeed had many of these characteristics. So difficult as a character but yet so adorable...

I own a CS, this breed isn't to be taken lightly before purchase, I had to reinforce my windows with very thick Plexiglass because he would have broken through my normal windows. it is the biggest cuddle bear to anyone he accepts as friend/family but its behaviour is VERY different towards anyone else. even people he loves and accepts who aren't part of the family will be considered as intruders if they would wander on the property. for example my neighbours, he loves them to bits and will always want to play with them and hug them when we go for a walk BUT every time they enter my garden he freaks out, he goes full guard mode and only after saying the magic command (to reassure him it's not a threat) he won't attack them, what does he do?: he stands on his hind legs and bumps his head on the windows while barking and growling very very aggressively until the magic command is said. never forget before getting a breed like this (LGD breed) that ONLY the pack is allowed on the premises, no matter how well he knows the person, he WILL keep even the close family friends off ur property even if he knows them well, he will only let them on it when someone of the pack is present and shows the person is allowed on it.

I'm from the UK and moved to Spain when I was 15. We re-homed a 2-3 year old female stray CS, GSD mix that worked as a guard dog at a scrap yard (she had only just recovered from a broken front left leg, we don't know how it happened because she was abandoned by her previous owners). She had an amazing temperament and was friendly with all the family and family friends. We trusted her so much we would leave the gate open at the top of our drive for her and another rescue dog (a 1 year old female podenco) to roam. At this time we lived in the mountains where a shepherd led his flock freely, sometimes even through your gates onto the acres of land each property comes with, always followed by a monstrous male CS (I once watched our female CS/GSD fight this very dog both on their hind legs because she followed our mischievous podenco towards his flock). Around 1 year into our family living there 2 of my friends visited from the UK and one night we went to my mom and dad's bar for a drink, we decided to walk back and on our 1 hour long journey through the twisty dirt roads, ahead to our left a huge silhouette lit by the moon was watching us from atop a large grass hill (It was the property of the local shepherd), I had to call my mom to pick us up as my friends would go no further. A few months later our female CS/GSD was in season and I was home alone, outside the podenco and the female springer spaniel we brought from the UK were barking so I went to investigate. My heart almost fell out of my ass, this male CS was stood no more than 20 yards away on the sloped drive and I thought it either kills my dogs or I protect them. I approached it warily and stroked his head, him ignoring me I placed a hand on either shoulder and attempted pushing him backwards up the sloped drive to which he was rooted. Long story short it was the sweetest dog ever and with his consent I walked him back to his property three times within 2 hours as he kept escaping through a hole and beating me back to my house entering through another hole. I think the morale of my rather long story is that with my limited experience albeit in my opinion with real working CS's, they are very friendly outside of their work and once I can convince my fiancée I'll be getting myself one now I'm back in the UK.

Only biggest and hard to teach but was a great protector was my old dog who was a half timber wolf and half husky. They gave me a better insight how to live and manage a big dog

Thank you. For the facts.. I can purchase CS Now

In fact, they are not called bear killers, but wolf killers and they completely nail wolfs:))))))) I in my summer house shelter the huge short hair shepherd puppy. Huge one!!!!!! He's absolutely adorable protecting my, my family and household ferociously!!!!

These comments show how weak average human has become in modern times. I have a similar Anatolian Shepherd and yes he is aggressive towards strangers as one should be but much more logical than most dogs and he wouldn't ever hurt a kid or bark at a dog that is playful towards him. Y'all just lack a spine, Caucasian dogs have an integrity, stature and soul that most humans could only portray in works of fiction. These dogs would instantly give their life for you. Y'all don't deserve them.

Caucasian shepherd dog is my favourite dog breed

Can you do king shepherds

Well dog is dog,those are bigger than all I had before,the boy is 1,2y and 72kg and girl is 1y and 64kg,the boy is like a boy and the girl is shay and make damages,run, and so on.they are very lovely to all kids who came over the fence,greeting all people,im pretty sure if they lorn crap they be bad.the best one I had.

I got the Caucasian Ovcharka without ever owning a dog before. With determination, time to care and train the dog and living on the country side with few neighbors i chose this breed. I reasearched the breed long and carefully, visited breeders and met several owners. After this i bought a smaller line female that should have been slightly milder in temperament. She was smaller (50kg) but not in any way mild temperamented. That was a steep learning curve that most normal people would have backed away from. That was 7 years ago and today i live with 2 Caucasians. My youngest female is whats refered as a military line of dog. That line is among the highest level of dog ownership there is. With that said, would i recommend my journey to novis people who dream about the ultimate guard dog? My answer is crystal clear: NO! Don't even think about it. Gain experience with another large guard dog breed first like a German Shepherd, Rottweiler or Doberman. I got thru by dedication and the support of professional dog trainers. Today it is mostly smooth sailing all though i have chosen more challenging lines of the breed. But the road has been long and bumpy to put it in diplomatic words.

My Frist Dog was Caucasian Ovtscharka i was 15 Years old...Beutufull Familie Dog....But never ever! Now its an Leonberger HillsPyrenäe Mix, its so sozial... The Best! He is so Kindle and an a Kindergarden group ....He Like it XD Greez from Germany :-)

Mine loved everyone and also all dogs and cats. The only thing he hated was racoons and having a bath. Very stubborn though.

Where is this place? Your dog is true Georgian Shepherd ❤️

Don't ask ' them to be what they are not ' they are built for snow, that speed blew me away....

I have a question: How adaptable are these dogs to weather? Since they have all that fur, they are probably more adaptable to colder weather. I live in GA, in the United States. Summers here can get pretty hot. I'm talking in the 90's, with 70-80 percent humidity. Will one of these dogs be able to tolerate those conditions?

Would be an amazing dog for someone in a country where guns are banned. Someone breaks into your house this dog will pounce

I have a question Am a student in University and I want to train a dog I especially love the CS breed And this dog is going to be my first dog to train I choose it because of the negbiour hood I live in it not safe What your opinion should I purchase it or not

So what breed is best for an absolute beginner , I just acquired a caucasian/GSD mixed breed and his just 2 weeks old

1:25 +40°C ? For how many minutes ?

55-80 kilos is inaccurate and misleading an owner may consider that their dog will weigh 70 and max 80 kilos these dogs can reach well over 100 kilos you may not think that 30 pr 20 kilos does not make a difference but it does also I come from the country where these breeds originated from never in my life have I seen a 55 kilo shepherd I own a low fur Kazbeguri nagazi/shepherd that weighed 80 kilos when it was 8 months old and weighs 110 kilos so please leave a disclaimer that 80 kilos is not the max for these animals that 20 kilos can be result the owner not being able to feed the dog because of its size or the owner may underestimate the power the dog has resulting in a weaker chain or fence for their home if the dog breaks through its chain or fence(which it is able to do) someone will get killed when

Big gigantic teddy bears❤️

En cuanto al mío, quitando el hecho de que tiene 3 meses y yo los brazos llenos de heridas de sus "juegos" es un gran perro, muy equilibrado, inteligente, pero requiere de un dueño fuerte, tenaz y justo.

I want one but I stay in Georgia, I think that it would be too hot & humid

Where can I buy a CS?

My girlfriend owns two of these fucking dogs and one of them is trained to defend her. I'm fucking terrified of going to her house

Having a dog of this size and not being easily trained means you have to be exceptionally strong to control it somewhat. I could not have a dog I cannot control. Any dog that pulls their owner along on the leash can be very dangerous, regardless of their size.

can CS live in a country that summer all year round? temp 38c/ 100F

Wrong fact, you said they are called Caucasian bear killing dog and its missleading. They got their nickname for a reason, yes, yet alone no dog can kill an adult bear, but caucasian used them to hunt bears, so a pack of 4 could kill a bear and there is actually a footage of that on the internet.

I was watching a prison doco & In Russia they actually use this breed of dog as guard dogs & they have the stopping power of a 45 calibur handgun.

I would love to get one of these dogs but I live in the south so I feel like it would get to hot for him.

I heard ones that owners of this dog saying that is sin to chain this type of dog

But why fear they so cute

World war second you can always tell when it’s a robot talking

Was this breed, used during the Bolishivek revolution, to hunt humans? Their bite, usuall a tear, was made, so the military had a blood trail to follow...Thank you

Firstly, they are Georgian, not Russian .There is a version that the Georgian shepherd existed even in the XII-XIII centuries. In general, this name - Caucasian Shepherd - was given to this breed by Russians. However, we can freely say that this is our (Georgian) dog. In Soviet times, no one was allowed to call them Georgian Shepherd. Secondly, they are known to be wolf killers, not bear killers. Lastly, In 1937 this breed was transported from the Caucasus to Russia. Why? The answer is simple - the Caucasian Shepherd is not pretentious, it can withstand frost freely, therefore, they were considered ideal dogs for supervisors of Stalin's prisons and Gulags. Russians bred them and we can say that they turned these beasts into completely useless dogs. They still managed to spread them all over Caucasus, but these mongrel dogs turned out to be very weak against wolves, they could not handle the responsibility due to not having the instincts they needed. This led to a decrease in the number of Caucasian Shepherds, and it was on the verge of extinction for a while, but with great effort, this breed was saved.

I just hate listening to robot voices narrating a vid but this was a pretty good one but still didn't like it .

Fact number 8, it is Georgian mountain dog!

He sounds like a robot

Basically don't own if you don't live on a farm

I have a Caucasian named Ivan, he turned 3 yrs old this month, 4/2021, he's 200lbs and he has an extreme temperament, his parents are from old Military working lines in Russia. I got him @ 8 weeks old and socialized the crap out of him, didn't do any good. He is extremely aggressive with people and all other animals. He was raised with 3 other dogs, but I have to keep him separated now from them otherwise he will do a lot of damage to them. I'm the only one in my family that can handle him, the other's he just ignores, that's because I spent a whole lot of time with him while he was a puppy, and I still do now. He goes beserk when I bring over anybody to the house and has to be locked up, my friends think that I have a lion, lol. A very hard dog to live with and he's a big liability as well! I would not recommend this breed of dog unless you get one with a mild temperament, where you can handle them a lot better, but the ones with an extreme temperament or hard temperament are no joke!

Learn your facts , I own one , so much misinformation , my 3yr old girl is 33inch tall , & 88kg , from russia

Can I see yours🤔 so that I can believe you.
