Origin from Georgia the Caucasian shepherd was bred as a working dog of the Soviet Union. To create the CSD the Soviet breeders chose among many breeds dogs in Azerbaijan and Georgia, also called Caucasian Mountain Dog, or Caucasian Shepherd.
The origins of shepherd dogs usually go back thousands of years in the Caucasus Mountains, where shepherds kept livestock in ancient times. The shepherd is a big child. They can weigh up to 220 lbs. (females can weigh up to 180 lbs), they even compete with St. Bernards in size. Service life up to 12 years.
As the American Kennel Club said, it is a breed that cannot be “taken lightly” due to its protective and daring nature. There are breeders on YouTube who claim that a Caucasian shepherd can kill a wolf. This may be true, but it is better to keep the shepherd away from any danger or possible confrontation, because he is a dog that will not back down.
