The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is a large, powerful guardian known for loyalty, independence and a strong protective instinct; typically calm with family yet wary of strangers, they need firm, consistent training and early socialisation. These dogs are substantial in size, often weighing well over 45kg, and possess a thick double coat requiring regular grooming and seasonal attention. They have moderate daily exercise needs but benefit from space to move and a secure garden rather than flat life. Potential owners should be experienced with large, dominant breeds, prepared for ongoing training, healthcare and grooming commitments, and mindful of local requirements.
