Caucasian Shepherd Dog

Origin

Russian Federation

Attractive to:

Someone with a local wolf problem.

Not the best for:

Most people! This dog needs skilled training and management – and a huge area to patrol. Unless you have your own vast mountain range and years of flock-guard experience, you're better off picking another breed.

Aliases:

None

Cross between:

None

Size:

Giant
So big people will stop and take photos.

Exercise Needs:

High (Two hours or more)
Without sufficient mental and physical exercise will probably do the wall of death around the living room!

Coat:

Double trouble!
There she blows. Dense undercoat that could stuff a mattress when you start combing it out.

Shedding:

Fluff monster
Buy shares in Dyson - tell people you are wearing mohair if embarrassed

Life expectancy:

11 years

Good first dog?:

No
