The Caucasian Shepherd, also known as the Caucasian Ovcharka, is a massive breed that can weigh up to 200 pounds. For someone unfamiliar with such large dogs, this size alone can be overwhelming. However, with proper guidance, this dog can become a devoted companion. The average lifespan for a male is 10–12 years, and the breed originates from Russia and other European countries. Bred to guard and herd livestock, the Caucasian Shepherd is powerful and confident. Their size enables them to handle these tasks effortlessly, but without adequate training and socialization, they can become territorial and unpredictable.
