Caucasian Mountain Dogs are canines of above average to large height. Their bodies are very rugged and sturdy built. The typical Caucasian Mountain Dog has natural aggression and mistrust toward strangers.

Besides that they are also very athletic, have high stamina and don’t require a lot of care. They are suitable to wide variety of climate conditions from Sub-Tropical heat to near polar north cold. These characteristics allow them to be used in all parts of Russia, where this dog has gained its mainstream popularity and was made a national resource. The dogs are used primaraly for guard duty and personal protection because of their extreme defensive reaction.

There are a few different types of Caucasian Ovcharkas, heavy and strong built in Caucasus region, and light built in steppes.

Some Measurements:

Height:
Male - not lower then 65 CM
Female - not lower then 62 CM
Weight (There is no high-weight limit for this breed):
Male - 60+ kg at maturity
Female - 50+ kg at maturity

These dogs require a very experienced dog owner. They are not recommended for first time dog owners as they are extremely strong and require a lot of work.

Dog Training Tip

Filed under: Dog Training Tips — Dmitry Belov @ 1:41 pm

This is one of those random dog training tips. ;)

For best results a dog should have the following things when being trained:

  • Fun
  • Attention on his/her owner
  • Consistent owner who makes same decisions everytime
  • An owner who doesnt lose temper at his/her dog
  • A good system of positive reinforcement. Mix it up, dont always give a dog a treat, make the dog guess
  • Make the dog training sessions no longer then 30-60 min depending on the dog. Dogs get bored fast just like children
  • An understanding owner who knows the dog in and out

Follow the above advice and you’ll have much happier dog training experience.

More random dog training tips will be added in the future. :D
