    Caucasian Shepherd Dog

    Caucasian Shepherds are descendants of ancient Molosser dogs and are therefore extremely large powerful dogs that boast striking markings. The breed is a relatively unknown breed here in the UK but they are highly prized in their native countries which includes Georgia Armenia Azerbaijan the North Caucasus where these handsome large dogs are used to guard flocks of livestock. With this said over recent times their popularity has increased and for good reason.
