The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is a large and powerful breed that originated in the Caucasus region of Europe and Asia. They are also known as Caucasian Ovcharka, Caucasian Sheepdog, Kawkasky Owtscharka, and Kaukasische Schaferhund. They were bred to guard property and livestock from predators and intruders, and they have a loyal, courageous, and protective temperament. They are not very friendly with strangers or other dogs, and they need early and consistent training and socialization to be well-behaved. They have a medium-length double coat that can come in various colors and markings, and they shed heavily. They need at least an hour of exercise per day, and they are not suitable for small or apartment living. They have a lifespan of 10 to 12 years, and they can suffer from some health problems, such as hip dysplasia, obesity, and eye disorders. They are part of the American Kennel Club's Foundation Stock Service, which means they are not yet fully recognized as a breed by the AKC. They are still relatively rare, especially in North America. If you are interested in this breed, you should be prepared to provide them with a lot of space, attention, and care. They are not a breed for everyone, but they can be a great companion for the right owner.
