Russian Bear Hunting Dog: Caucasian Ovcharka Nagazi

This dog is also known as the Caucasian Mountain dog and is absolutely enormous. I sincerely hope that it is not brought over to SA! The pictures and video are really worth while having a look at  - see link below to see it in action.

The Caucasian Mountain Dog comes from a region in Eurasia known as theCaucasus Mountains. Recently, this ancient breed has gained popularity in the U.S.. Fair warning Yanks, this 6 ft 185 lb pooch is unlike anything Americans have known.


Caucasian dogs are hybrids of more established breeds across Europe and Asia -- including mastiffs, molossers and bandogs

Far from being mutts, the Caucasians are highly specialized tools to protect properties, guard livestock, kill wolves, and hunt bears.

This stately canine is NOT a suburban-friendly Golden Retriever. Experienced owners do best with Caucasian Ovcharkas because they only respect and obey dominant handlers. 

Many consider the Caucasian a loose cannon. Despite rearing and training, this dog will make its own decisions on how best to protect its family or property--sometimes despite the commands given to it. 

Once pecking order has been established with its (human) family, the Caucasian is a laid back breed. At least until some unfortunate creature (man or beast) triggers its territorial instincts. Then it's all business.  ...read more and see video

Please get your facts correct. They are NOT hunters. They don't hunt bears with them. They are shepherds. They protect lifestock from wolfs and bears. They are NO hybrids. They are a very old and rustic breed and are still the same as 600 years ago.I brought them to South Africa. Have them here for more than 3 years now. Breed them, show them, have 2 champions already with KUSA. For more info please WhatsApp 082 839 3340

Anyone with half a brain can see they aren't for bear. Look at their teeth.
