History
The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is a working dog breed that originated from the Russian Caucasus Mountains, mostly used a livestock guardian dog.
Care and Health
Grooming needs Given its size the long coat especially can take some time to brush through it all. It does shed a heavy amount so there will be a lot of hair around the home to be dealt with. Bathing a dog of this size is not an easy task so leave to times when it really needs one. They are mostly considered to be a healthy breed, but like many giant breeds, they can be prone to hip dysplasia. They may also develop cataracts. One of the most common problems they face is obesity.
Fun Fact
