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.
