    My fuzzy monsters - Caucasian Ovcharkas

    LOL, thank you. I don't think any dog has shortcomings, I like to think every dog has his/her special talents. The beauty of LGD breeds is above average intelligence, but like anything else - you need to develop the traits they are born with. And intelligent beings need to be mentally...

    This is how we mess up our LGD's.

    LGDs are indeed very attached to their routine. Changes need to be made gradually and dogs need time to adjust. Usually 2-3 days are enough time for them to accept new rules and / or schedule.

    My fuzzy monsters - Caucasian Ovcharkas

    Thank you very much. They certainly do not enjoy heat in the summer, living on an iceberg would be their preference. LOL But we don't have issues - they shed all winter undercoat, the coat they have left insulates them from heat fairly well, they have access to shade and water to pretend to be...

    Thank you. I really believe in preserving working abilities in a working breed. We already have many-many breeds of dogs with no particular purpose, used as companions or pets. Many of them used to have working background, but sadly lost their jobs due to various reasons. I think partnership of...
