The Caucasian Shepherd Dog needs a lot of exercise

The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is strong and rugged and needs continuous and appropriate training from an early age. It requires more exercise and a larger space, so it is not suitable for city life or keeping company with children. It is adapted to cold climates and is not easy to train. It is a good guard dog. Just comb the coat once a week.

The Caucasian dog is a strong and athletic dog with strong muscles, well-developed and well-proportioned bones. Body length slightly longer than shoulder height. It has a huge wedge-shaped head. The black nose is protruding, the nostrils are very open, and the coat is extremely thick. The strong forelimbs are straight and long, and there are hairs between the big toes to isolate and protect the toes. The strong claws can help it stand firmly on uneven ground, and the buttocks are slightly higher than the back.

Advantages of the Caucasian dog breed

In the Caucasus, no one sells Caucasian dogs. Only white dogs are given as gifts to their closest friends. They often raise their own puppies because the vast majority of white dogs do not have the chance to live to old age, which requires a constant infusion of new blood into the dog population. Some herders try to breed the best breeders, and many of them have their own bloodlines. A watchdog is a dog that guards the tent. They are different from sheepdogs in that they are very hostile and aggressive towards strangers, but first make sure they obey their owner's commands. Although they harbor no ill will toward others in the tent, they obey only one master. Those dogs don't like barking. They quietly attack strangers who enter the defensive zone. However, they are free to roam outside the defensive zone, as they generally will not actively attack innocent strangers within the defensive zone.

In Azerbaijan, there are two phenotypes of Caucasian dogs: the Siberian Plain type and the Caucasus Mountain type. The Azerbaijani Siberian Plains version of the Caucasian dog has a compact muzzle, a flat skull, a more square body, slender limbs and small bones. The fur is usually lighter in color with tawny and white spots, and this Caucasian dog has shorter fur. The mountain version of the Caucasian dog looks bigger. They have well-developed parotid bones on their heads. This Caucasian dog has a longer body, higher shoulders, and a wider and deeper chest. But the Azerbaijani mountain version is still not as big as the Georgian version. Caucasian dogs from the mountains of Azerbaijan have shorter necks, flatter skulls, longer muzzles, and more prominent cheeks than Georgian dogs.
