Who has a Caucasian Ovcharka (mountain dog)?

Okay, I am thinking about buying a Caucasian Ovcharka (Caucasian Mountain Dog), I have read that they bark at night, and you obviously have to stop them at a young age. Does this breed ACTUALLY bark at night?

Answer #1

This is a breed that I’ve done very little research on…until tonite. From the general stuffI’m reading, it’s like the northern hemisphere’s counter part to the Fila of Brazil…VERY good with it’s own family (including kids, other pets, etc), but disasterous to strangers, strange dogs, etc. This is just ‘breed information’, not actual people talking about their own Ovcharka’s…

I don’t see where they are considered high reactive, tho (lots of barking night or day, unless there is actually something to make noise about)…I did find a site tho, where actual people are talking about their own personal Ovcharka’s…pretty interesting reading.

I do think tho, that before purchasing one, that you do a LOT of research on them. They are not a dog for just anybody…I’m just saying that they appear to be a dog for people who have the time, and the commitment to devote all their time to this dog, especially in the the first 2 or 3 years.

If you do get one, please let me know about him…they are a very interesting breed.

Answer #2

yes, thank you. =) I have been doing lots and lots of research. I’m planning on buying a Caucasian Ovtcharka handling book from amazon. And I have learned that there is a breeder near me!!! What are the odds right?! So I am planning on going up there and learning about them and really getting to know how theey really are. I beleive it will be atleast a year untill I am able to finally buy one. As we do not have quite enough money to buy a perminant home, and set up a good, big fence and kennel. But if you still wish to have me contact you then… ya lol I will. Thank you for the information it was a great helpp!
