I have been researching and following all of the post's with regards to the most reputable breeders in the US for Caucasian Ovcharka's (CO's). I have also read everything posted on the site with regards to CO's. I finally became a member today. I have researched for a year and My wife and I are ready to purchase a caucasian. I have talked with some of the breeders here in the US. I have tried to find reviews on the breeders and have, as I said above, talked with a few. I am very skeptical about backyard breeders and for the amount of money these individuals ask for a puppy are pricey. I am more than willing to spend the money on a fantastic animal. I am not willing to deal with and/or pay for an animal that comes from a less than reputable breeder. I have looked into and talked to a few of the breeder I CAN FIND. I understand that some may not be online and that is tough for me as I do not know where to go other than online since we do not have any breeders up this way (Maine). the sites I have visited over the past year (dozens of times) are below:
www.courageouscaucasians.com
www.rockhillcaucasians.com
www.estalfacaucasian.com
www.esquirecaucasians.com
www.galdondog.com (non-US, Bulgaria. I am hesitant with going outside of the US, but wasn't sure if anyone had any insight with them)
www.vbocaucasian.com (non-US,Voronezh, Russia...Same as above with going outside the US, but they seem to be legit)
I know that there are so many things that go into this and I hope someone can help. I have only been able to speak with the owners/breeders of the sites I have visited. Bias is (most of the time) going to for THEIR dogs. I get this, but I was wondering if you would be willing to shed some light on what breeders you would go with or recommend. I am going to be calling on most of these sites in the next few days.
