About Caucasian Shepherd Dog Puppies, Breeders & DogFacts
The Caucasian Shepherd Dog, originating in the Caucasus Mountain region of Russia and Georgia, is a massive livestock guardian in the AKC Foundation Stock Service, historically bred to protect sheep and property from wolves and bears. Males stand 27-30 inches and weigh 110-170 pounds, with females slightly smaller, carrying a dense weather resistant double coat in gray, fawn, rust, or pied patterns. Brush two to three times weekly and expect heavy seasonal shedding. Fearless, confident, and deeply devoted, they are independent thinkers requiring experienced owners, early socialization, and moderate daily exercise. Best suited to rural homes with space rather than apartments or households with unfamiliar visitors.
