my first dog was a caucasian shepherd called "simba". we got her acctually with a house we boght. and before us the owner had the dog basicly chained all the time. My father took the oppurtunity to bond with the dog and in the dogs eyes became the alpha, with just caring for the dog and walking it and bounding with the dog. after all this the dog was really caring at other family members and as i remember her she took anything from playing with her, ruff or not but never touched a hair on us (kids, i guess i was around 12 and had siblings much younger than me). but when it came to other people or animals the dog would give anything to keep us safe. in summary "Simba" was the best and the most caring dog a person could ask for... i really loved her and no doubt she loved me an all of our family. (sorry for the long comment just wanted to share this, cuz this breed is awesome) R.I.P "Simba" love you girl.

"Cute" nice saying cute to the most dangerous dog ever So it's normal saying cute to a caucasian shepherd puppy not a to an adult 700-750PSI It's means 1 Bite=Blood and the biggest caucasian shepherd is more bigger than a female lion so just stop saying cute to the must dangerous dogs Caucasian shepherd now:Am i a joke to you?
I own two, Mishka and Zilla.They are very well behaved, and even allow our cats to eat their food.They look intimidating and appear to be dangerous, but they aren't.
It's all about the owner.. If the owner is good then you got the results you got.. Keep up the good work. Much love to šarplaninac as we call it back in my home country
You and he are absolutely right: socialization is all. My Pyrenees, Ladybug, who passed on last August, was a rescue. She was two when we adopted her and had very strong predator instincts. I decided to socialize her, introducing her to anyone who was willing to stop and say hello on our walks through the neighborhood. Over the next decade she became a fixture in the neighborhood, calmly sitting beside me as I spoke to neighbors. Deeply missed, I received many unsolicited condolences at her passing from the neighbors. She was my best friend, but who knows, maybe a Caucasian Shepherd will pick up her mantle!
Richard Zollino socialization doesn’t alter genetics. These dogs are not meant to be family pets and social with the neighbors. No matter how much you socialize you can’t change genetics
@@JacobFrazeur It does not alter genetics, but it helps to provide context that moderates behaviour. My Pyr had very strong predator and guard instincts, which she never lost. But, she did learn to accept people who approached me in calm, friendly manner. I have no experience with Caucasian Shepherds, and would not presume to know anything. In the decades of experience I do have with various breeds I can attest to the fact that it's not the dog, it's the owner.
Richard Zollino Pyr were never bred to aggressive though they’re a friendly breed. There’s a reason why they’re so popular for people who have farms with livestock but also get a lot of visitors. They’ll protect against other animals but they have no aggression towards people. Unlike the CO who was originally used to guard livestock then later used to guard and work in prisons and were required to attack and sometimes kill prisoners therefore people aggression has been bred into the breed. I have a Pyr she’s great for livestock but will let anyone come in and mess with the livestock I got a CO problem solved he’s wasn’t even a yr old and was keeping people away from the livestock.
@@RandySoWavvy A Pyr is bred to guard, just as you've stated. They can be very frightening, and sometimes aggressive. Without disclosing all the details, a neighbor's gardener was badly mauled by one of his five Pyrs that he kept inside his walled property. When properly introduced to his dogs, a visitor can be safely enter the property, the dogs are perfectly docile. Otherwise, they're doing their job. So, it all depends on the owner, and how the Pyr has been socialized.

@Khada Ro'kara I read there is a change in the pit bull laws soon to go into effect in Britain. The change will not solve all the issues but there won't be any more house to house confiscations of the breed. Here in Texas USA there is no breed specific legislation. What Texas animal enforcement tries to do is round up the packs which stray pit bulls run in and attack dogs and people in rural areas. These packs are VERY dangerous and have chewed up and killed many people and domestic dogs throughout Texas and surrounding States.
They’re looking alike cub bears plus thick fur or hair seem alike very so cute and huggable touch my heart with love. But they’ll be very good watching dogs.
I firmly believe that any dog that’s thought to be dangerous is due to human “error/ignorance”. Not to sound cliche, but there’s much truth in the saying that a dog is the mirror of its owner. There’s not one animal on earth that is cruel for the pleasure of it (that I know of) other than humans! Regardless, I wanted to thank you for taking the time to record this wonderful and insightful video! ❤
Oh yikes I'd hate for you to buy a working bred dog, raise it as a pet, and be confused as to why it was herding, hunting etc when it wasn't raised that way. Genetics play a big part in a dogs behaviour. : )
The statement tho "if you keep it on a farm and that's all it knows its gonna be bad" is dumb af. This dog is built to live outside in cooler temperature. It wants to move around and do what it was created for it. Keeping it a city or in a suburb is just wrong. There is no way in hell you can exercise this type of dog by walking it around. Just because its social and doesnt attack strangers doesn't mean its happy.
Thank you for the background on this breed and all the other breeds you do. Much more enjoyable and educational than the run of the mill documentaries!
Our ovcharka was a good home guard but incredibly friendly and sweet dog to any visitor to our home. She also never bothered with any dogs around her when taken for a walk and kids could pet her without issues. One thing though, she preferred to live outside in our garden and never liked being indoors.
My Mexican uncle has an ovcharka named nacho (I like his name). At first I was a bit scared because of his size but after getting closer he's very sweet and loyal. He also prefers to live outside like yours.
So right Anneka ,dogs start having issues without a proper leader. I see it every day where dogs feel they must take charge because their human is weak energy. Lovely pups and a very dedicated owner/breeder. Thank you : )
Interesting blog Anneka. My pooch, is a Maremma which is 70% wolf and the rest Caucasian Mountain dog from where she has her flat ears as a souvenir! These dogs were bred in the Italian Alps some 1000+ years ago, also as a protector for flocks etc. She is a VERY smart dog, has a strong personality but she is also VERY loving.
Just FYI - I am legit obsessed with your channel! xxx Edit: The Caucasian shepherd is one of my all time favourite breeds, but it's also one of the only dogs I would never attempt to keep. Their incredible guarding instincts and sheer size tell me that they're not right for my family, but they're certainly incredible dogs for the right family!
Vince Mok not really mines does great with my other dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, and chickens. He doesn’t harm anyone in the pack now if another animal or person tries to enter uninvited then that’s a different story.
I’ve an Akita and a Border collie , I saw a nine month Ovcharka , a couple of months ago , he was huge , honestly I fell in love with them then , I’ll have to wait some years before I get one but both my boys are great too, never mind.
Do not get an Orchawka mate. Why? Cause you think they are beautiful? Try heroine, itś beautiful! Ask any heroine addict. That does not mean it's a good thing to use it now does it? Owcharka is meant for protecting livestock in the mountains. Do you have a flock of sheep in the mountains?
You're both wrong. So many circumstances come into play if you're thinking of owning ANY kind of shepherd. First off, if you don't live in a house with a decent size backyard, the chances of the dog becoming too territorial and hostile greatly increase, regardless of training. Second, you should be an experienced owner. I would never recommend, for example, someone who's never owned a dog before to go out and get a German Shepherd or Doberman, much less a Caucasian Shepherd.
@@headbangerdnb I full understand what you are saying this breed of dog is not for everyone but for some that live on farm it could be. Also just rottwelers other breeds may not be for good for ever one to have but some it would. I was just stated fact this breed is gorgeous that is what I think. I 🙏 hope you and your family are ok at this bad time God Bless you.
@@deborahnorman5117 I wasn't trying to be argumentative, just wanted to point out that the truth was somewhere in between what you and CBR Fireblade said, as his comment was so extreme that it kind of pushed your statement in the opposite direction. Anyway, nice to see there's still people not afraid to mention God in 2020. God bless!
The video where he attacks the wolf is from a Serbian TV Show and shows the Sar mountain dog that looks a lot like Caucasian Shepherd but grows a lot smaller
I'm so happy you made a video of this, I'm still a bit puzzled about the natural temperament between dog breeds, it's one of the things that has set back my plan to buy my dream dog. Everytime I research this it's clear that certain dogs tend to be more protective but aggression can be channeled through learning for both dog and owner. I love your videos and the Ovcharka is one of my favorite dogs and is gorgeous but I live in the caribbean and they would not survive here. I'm in love with the OW Cane Corso and hope to get one. Big hug from PR
Hi all, im from Georgia and proudly can confirm that, this breed is native Georgian breed. Also, ive personally witnessed how two Georgian Shepherds have killed a wolf. One vs one wolf obviously will overtake it. Oh also, many families have this breed as pet at home, very loyal and fantastic guard dog. Nice video keep up good work ;)
@CBR Fireblade if you hear the way they pronounce "th" so it looks like they have serious problems with front teeth. And their pronunciation "R" looks like they have a full mouth of snot.
@@sergeynovikov1052 The way THEY pronounce words? I think you will find the English invented the language hence ("speaking English) so somebody from another country critizing the English on how they pronounce English words is laughable . That's like me telling a Russian hes pronouncing his words wrong because it sounds like there's something wrong with his teeth.
There is about 450 Timber Wolf Packs in my State of Minnesota, USA. I would never leave one of those lovely looking Dogs alone in Wolf areas. It may be able to take on a lone Wolf but Wolves in my area normally live together in Packs sometimes over 20 in a Pack. Packs of Wolves in my area regularly take down Moose which are bigger than most Cars and Pick Up Trucks. The Cacausian Shepherd may be a good Dog for me. I enjoy being out in Wild areas where Wolfs live. My German Shepherd/Collie Max passed on not long ago. Max was a great Companion for outdoor adventure and was good at keeping Black Bears away from camp.
Been interested in the breed for years and y’all are the first ones to say they can be pets. In real life, finally saw my first one at a festival beginning October ‘19. It’s a therapy dog that’s makes rounds at hospitals. That literally shattered my entire universe. Lol. Guy said he was told by the vets he wouldn’t be friendly but he obviously just needed a second chance.
@@primesonofficial ,Thank you...Adult male, Grey, Timber, Canadian, Artic wolf... Emphatically NO! Ditto.. Kangel, Pakistani Gaudar? dog, bully Kutta, we're talking wild vs domesticated! My dog biscuits are on the wolf!
@@primesonofficial yes they could kill a small wolf... but not a large one. the reality is though - they were bred to protect the flock - they don't need to kill even the biggest wolf. in reality unless the wolf is starving it won't bother. however if there is a pack and one dog - they would certainly try to kill the dog. 5 on 5 - again it depends. the pack probably wouldn't bother if there is abundant food elsewhere.
Nice video. No one should get one of these or other powerful breed dogs if they are not 100% committed to putting in the time. Good care, extensive socialization (from puppyhood thru adulthood), sufficient exercise, being a leader, setting boundaries, establishing routines, and providing mental stimulation will produce a happy, reliable dog. Hard to believe such cute pups turn into majestic dogs. I imagine the grooming time and cost to keep them looking like this are incredibly high.
I used to have a wolf or my dads had a wolf when I was a kid she was loving her name was Lobo beautiful eyes and huge paws I remember her being very caring
This episode on the Ovcharka was wonderful! As always, I love the fact that Anneka dispels myths about breeds that have been deemed dangerous. It is the responsibility of the human to lead their pack. They must invest the time into walking, training, socializing, loving and feeding their precious dogs...(every animal/pet). The Ovcharka is a magnificent, imposing creature. People should not own one if they are not willing to respect the time and energy this breed demands. Thank you Animal Watch, and Anneka! I love this channel! I look forward to new episodes, and I am still watching old ones. This is a timeless show that educates while entertaining. ~❣️
@diferencial diferencial your comment was very extra and dramatic. It was obvious it was a rhetorical question. Even if it wasn't, your comment was overboard and dramatic. Chill.
There have never been any discussions in Russia about the origin of the Caucasian Shepherd Dog. It may not be specifically Georgia itself, but definitely it’s the Caucasus Mountains. It is believed that this good puppy can be purchased only from the shepherds in the mountains. But in general, this dog will be unsuitable for domestic maintenance. She is huge and She needs a large space - because in its natural habitat this dog can run tens of kilometers in one day. In an apartment or even in a private house to her very closely. There is another nuance ... This is a very intelligent and wayward creation, with a strong character. This dog is able to make decisions independently. And these decisions will not always coincide with the will of her owner. For example, she will not look like a well-trained soldier like a German shepherd: she will not endlessly jump over a barrier or bring you a stick. Maybe she will do it a couple of times, and then look at you with her wise eyes, and run to do her own business, all of her appearance, as if telling you: “Master, maybe you are an idiot ... But I’m not! I will not bring you your stupid stick!" You need to have a lot of patience, willpower and firm character in order to raise this dog and be its owner, to be worthy of it.
Pagani Zonda it IS from the Caucasian region. The dog is 2000 year old. Parts of Russia are in the Caucasian mountains. The brits are terrible with geography
@Pagani Zonda we (the Chechens)call Caucasian shephard jan (flock of sheep) j'al (dog) and when you say that this dog is the Georgian shepherd it is not polit to other northern Caucasians who lives with that dog a thousands years
It's a historical fact that Russians came to Georgia in droves to take away all the breeding dogs. Now they claim it as their "national dog". Nonsense.
Never trust a russian that claims anything originated from georgia to be theirs, they do that pretty often. And as a georgian im glad finally someone asknowledged the fact that the specific breed is originated from georgia and its not a russian breed.
I have owned large dogs in Northern Canada all my life. I had two golden retrievers over 120 pounds who I witnessed on two occasions taking on black bears. Wolf killers? Any well raised healthy dog will fight to protect his property or his family no matter the breed. I applaud your efforts for the raise awareness and propterly represent this breed. I owned a pit bull who was my biggest baby and the most loving dog of all of them.. Good dog means a good owner.
It's the first time I've seen this breed of dog, and it sure is beautiful! Large is an understatement, and that's what would make it very difficult to have around the house in a sub-division or crowded neighborhood. Wish I had the ability to have one for sure, but reality keeps me from being able.
My mini pit looks terrifying but is the biggest baby ever. Like literally shes not intimidating at all close up cause she just gets on her belly and begs for loves
I used to walk to school and one person had two them unleashed in their front yard without a fence, that dog was huge and look fluffy but I was always scared so I brought knife to school.
@@aubsarg0222 Anneka has been making lots of videos including not so "unique" looking dogs, such as the samoyed. so it would be interesting to see her interview a reputable breeder and talk more about the breed.
We have a 3 yo male and a female (we got her from russia) that will be 1 on oct 18th. They are amazing dogs! We have had them since they were puppies and they are fine around kids and other dogs. They are our babies, just very big ones!!
Can you all make a video on how he trains them or if he trains them at all such as potty training them. Cause I’ve been saving up my money to purchase one
They’re super smart training is a breeze mines was trained within the first week of me having him by the time he was 12 wks he knew to sit when I was placing his food dishes. He knew sit, stay, drop it, leave it, shake, and how to walk on a leash all by 14wks old. Just stay consistent and firm.
trgvideo we adopted one last year. He’s almost 2 now. Amazing dog. Got told he was a Spanish mastiff but after looking online he doesn’t look anything like them. The dogumentarytv videos on them are pretty good
Thank you so much for taking the time and adressing some of the comments on the last video. I was one of the people that thought Caucasian Shepherds weren't portrayed correctly. I don't think Caucasians are an aggressive dog breed, however as you stated in this video you have to socialise them (as any dog) to get a laid back pet. My initial concern was that "exotic" breeds like the Caucasian became pretty popular over the last few years and a lot of first time dog owners get them because of their looks, but fail to educate themselves about the needs of the breed and dog training in general. Presenting the Caucasian Shepherd just as a cute, fluffy giant may sent the wrong idea to those people and they might end up with an unsocialised, potentially dangerous dog. And in the end the dog will be paying for the mistakes their owners made one way or another. So again, thank you for this video.
I have a caucasian mountain dog, and she is the sweetest dog ever. It's not the dog that's vicious, it's the way they are trained and brought up. She is having puppies in June.

you are so good with animals and these dogos are adorable
Dog looks nice too
Our ovcharka was a good home guard but incredibly friendly and sweet dog to any visitor to our home. She also never bothered with any dogs around her when taken for a walk and kids could pet her without issues. One thing though, she preferred to live outside in our garden and never liked being indoors.
My Mexican uncle has an ovcharka named nacho (I like his name). At first I was a bit scared because of his size but after getting closer he's very sweet and loyal. He also prefers to live outside like yours.
They seem really chilled and laid back for 7 weeks old.Yes I’m in love!
Kafkas dogs🤙🏻 We have all years on Trabzon mountains. Farmers love it.
Georgia BREEDS
So right Anneka ,dogs start having issues without a proper leader. I see it every day where dogs feel they must take charge because their human is weak energy. Lovely pups and a very dedicated owner/breeder. Thank you : )
They are sweet ,like you said, they are an reflection of the owner , spend time and show them love an u see the amazing babies they will bee...
I can’t watch undisturbed by how fluffy those massive puppies are
Interesting blog Anneka. My pooch, is a Maremma which is 70% wolf and the rest Caucasian Mountain dog from where she has her flat ears as a souvenir! These dogs were bred in the Italian Alps some 1000+ years ago, also as a protector for flocks etc. She is a VERY smart dog, has a strong personality but she is also VERY loving.
Just FYI - I am legit obsessed with your channel! xxx Edit: The Caucasian shepherd is one of my all time favourite breeds, but it's also one of the only dogs I would never attempt to keep. Their incredible guarding instincts and sheer size tell me that they're not right for my family, but they're certainly incredible dogs for the right family!
Love your channel
Thank God someone with knowledge
I think if you keep a Caucasian shepherd ,it will kill half your animal family the first day.
Vince Mok not really mines does great with my other dogs, cats, goats, rabbits, and chickens. He doesn’t harm anyone in the pack now if another animal or person tries to enter uninvited then that’s a different story.
its a serious dog. u need iron balls and physical strength to own one.
Stunning puppies. I would love a cuddle with them .
Excellent video as always. So important to dispel the many misconceptions out there.
I’d straight up pay hundreds to be able to spend a day with those puppies 🥺 MY HEART
What beautiful dogs and a clearly knowledgable breeder. 👍👍
I’ve an Akita and a Border collie , I saw a nine month Ovcharka , a couple of months ago , he was huge , honestly I fell in love with them then , I’ll have to wait some years before I get one but both my boys are great too, never mind.
Akita for evvveerrrr
Do not get an Orchawka mate. Why? Cause you think they are beautiful? Try heroine, itś beautiful! Ask any heroine addict. That does not mean it's a good thing to use it now does it? Owcharka is meant for protecting livestock in the mountains. Do you have a flock of sheep in the mountains?
@@forestdweller5581 what's your native language?
Oh my... so cute as puppies, so beautiful mature.
These puppies are actually gorgeous and what learn on video I think they would make a good family pet 💘 loved your video and God Bless.
You're both wrong. So many circumstances come into play if you're thinking of owning ANY kind of shepherd. First off, if you don't live in a house with a decent size backyard, the chances of the dog becoming too territorial and hostile greatly increase, regardless of training. Second, you should be an experienced owner. I would never recommend, for example, someone who's never owned a dog before to go out and get a German Shepherd or Doberman, much less a Caucasian Shepherd.
@@headbangerdnb I full understand what you are saying this breed of dog is not for everyone but for some that live on farm it could be. Also just rottwelers other breeds may not be for good for ever one to have but some it would. I was just stated fact this breed is gorgeous that is what I think. I 🙏 hope you and your family are ok at this bad time God Bless you.
@@deborahnorman5117 I wasn't trying to be argumentative, just wanted to point out that the truth was somewhere in between what you and CBR Fireblade said, as his comment was so extreme that it kind of pushed your statement in the opposite direction. Anyway, nice to see there's still people not afraid to mention God in 2020. God bless!
I love my CO, he’s 5 months old and 70 lbs; absolute fluff ball.
They have a beautiful face. So cute, like a little bear! Love it when you said their faithful.
The video where he attacks the wolf is from a Serbian TV Show and shows the Sar mountain dog that looks a lot like Caucasian Shepherd but grows a lot smaller
I'm so happy you made a video of this, I'm still a bit puzzled about the natural temperament between dog breeds, it's one of the things that has set back my plan to buy my dream dog.
Everytime I research this it's clear that certain dogs tend to be more protective but aggression can be channeled through learning for both dog and owner.
I love your videos and the Ovcharka is one of my favorite dogs and is gorgeous but I live in the caribbean and they would not survive here. I'm in love with the OW Cane Corso and hope to get one.
Big hug from PR
We want to cover the Cane Corso and thankyou for watching
Hi all, im from Georgia and proudly can confirm that, this breed is native Georgian breed. Also, ive personally witnessed how two Georgian Shepherds have killed a wolf. One vs one wolf obviously will overtake it.
Oh also, many families have this breed as pet at home, very loyal and fantastic guard dog.
Nice video keep up good work ;)
Very interesting I live in Tennessee that's pretty cool
Those puppies are so cute. Dogs need love and attention just like humans do.
i have one i love this dog. the best family guardian ever
They literally look like bears with long tails ♥️😊
Oh my god, how i love British accent! So beautiful! Hi from Russia.
@CBR Fireblade if you hear the way they pronounce "th" so it looks like they have serious problems with front teeth. And their pronunciation "R" looks like they have a full mouth of snot.
@@sergeynovikov1052 The way THEY pronounce words? I think you will find the English invented the language hence ("speaking English) so somebody from another country critizing the English on how they pronounce English words is laughable . That's like me telling a Russian hes pronouncing his words wrong because it sounds like there's something wrong with his teeth.
The question of them killing wolves should be mute.
The DOG IS IMPRESSIVE.
But u see what he said after someone hit the wolf over the head or shot the wolf then they let the dogs finish it off!
I don't think they could kill one straight up one on one.
I would hate to see the size of the doggo that would hunt a Direwolf.
@@paxhumana2015 probably an entire pack of bloodhounds
Wolves are majestic, why would u kill one
There is about 450 Timber Wolf Packs in my State of Minnesota, USA.
I would never leave one of those lovely looking Dogs alone in Wolf areas. It may be able to take on a lone Wolf but Wolves in my area normally live together in Packs sometimes over 20 in a Pack.
Packs of Wolves in my area regularly take down Moose which are bigger than most Cars and Pick Up Trucks.
The Cacausian Shepherd may be a good Dog for me. I enjoy being out in Wild areas where Wolfs live. My German Shepherd/Collie Max passed on not long ago. Max was a great Companion for outdoor adventure and was good at keeping Black Bears away from camp.
Sorry for your loss, one of these guys would surely make a nice addition
Arnetha Earl TY. I'll check some out at the next local AKC Show.
These are known to have killed 5-7 grey wolves before their own demise guarding sheep in the mountains, 2-3 of them would take on a whole pack,,,
Been interested in the breed for years and y’all are the first ones to say they can be pets. In real life, finally saw my first one at a festival beginning October ‘19. It’s a therapy dog that’s makes rounds at hospitals. That literally shattered my entire universe. Lol. Guy said he was told by the vets he wouldn’t be friendly but he obviously just needed a second chance.
They are beautiful, wonderful, Lord's treasures, gifted to us
Omgeeeee, I wish I could have one !!!😍😍😍 So adorable and beautiful when grown !❤️
They can be wolf killers and family pets at the same time..
absolutley right they become wolf killers when they are in nature. they nturally protect sheep so while doing that thay might kill wolfs
Yeah if a wolf tries to eat my kid and for some reason I can’t help, say if I’m unconscious, I’d sure hope my dog would be a wolf killer.
Maybe for arabic and europe wolf, but timberwolf or alaskan wolf its imposible.
@@primesonofficial ,Thank you...Adult male, Grey, Timber, Canadian, Artic wolf... Emphatically NO! Ditto.. Kangel, Pakistani Gaudar? dog, bully Kutta, we're talking wild vs domesticated!
My dog biscuits are on the wolf!
@@primesonofficial yes they could kill a small wolf... but not a large one. the reality is though - they were bred to protect the flock - they don't need to kill even the biggest wolf. in reality unless the wolf is starving it won't bother. however if there is a pack and one dog - they would certainly try to kill the dog. 5 on 5 - again it depends. the pack probably wouldn't bother if there is abundant food elsewhere.
Nice video. No one should get one of these or other powerful breed dogs if they are not 100% committed to putting in the time. Good care, extensive socialization (from puppyhood thru adulthood), sufficient exercise, being a leader, setting boundaries, establishing routines, and providing mental stimulation will produce a happy, reliable dog. Hard to believe such cute pups turn into majestic dogs. I imagine the grooming time and cost to keep them looking like this are incredibly high.
I used to have a wolf or my dads had a wolf when I was a kid she was loving her name was Lobo beautiful eyes and huge paws I remember her being very caring
Lobo in our language is wolf
Omg I would lay on the floor and let those pups crawl all over me 😭😭
You think they are cute?😂😂
That why I can't breed my baby because I'd keep them all🐻🐻🐻please take a look At chloe my caccation shepherd
Same. They would be really heavy, but worth it
This episode on the Ovcharka was wonderful! As always, I love the fact that Anneka dispels myths about breeds that have been deemed dangerous. It is the responsibility of the human to lead their pack. They must invest the time into walking, training, socializing, loving and feeding their precious dogs...(every animal/pet). The Ovcharka is a magnificent, imposing creature. People should not own one if they are not willing to respect the time and energy this breed demands.
Thank you Animal Watch, and Anneka! I love this channel! I look forward to new episodes, and I am still watching old ones. This is a timeless show that educates while entertaining.
~❣️
Thank you for your wonderful comments 😀
How is that possible to be THAT cute ? Omfg those puppies !!
@diferencial diferencial your comment was very extra and dramatic. It was obvious it was a rhetorical question. Even if it wasn't, your comment was overboard and dramatic. Chill.
@diferencial diferencial Poodles are ugly their whole lives!
Beautiful puppies
There have never been any discussions in Russia about the origin of the Caucasian Shepherd Dog. It may not be specifically Georgia itself, but definitely it’s the Caucasus Mountains. It is believed that this good puppy can be purchased only from the shepherds in the mountains. But in general, this dog will be unsuitable for domestic maintenance. She is huge and She needs a large space - because in its natural habitat this dog can run tens of kilometers in one day. In an apartment or even in a private house to her very closely.
There is another nuance ... This is a very intelligent and wayward creation, with a strong character. This dog is able to make decisions independently. And these decisions will not always coincide with the will of her owner. For example, she will not look like a well-trained soldier like a German shepherd: she will not endlessly jump over a barrier or bring you a stick. Maybe she will do it a couple of times, and then look at you with her wise eyes, and run to do her own business, all of her appearance, as if telling you: “Master, maybe you are an idiot ... But I’m not! I will not bring you your stupid stick!"
You need to have a lot of patience, willpower and firm character in order to raise this dog and be its owner, to be worthy of it.
Pagani Zonda it IS from the Caucasian region. The dog is 2000 year old. Parts of Russia are in the Caucasian mountains. The brits are terrible with geography
Pagani Zonda mm No need to insult. I was talking about the Programme being British 🙄
@Pagani Zonda we (the Chechens)call Caucasian shephard jan (flock of sheep) j'al (dog) and when you say that this dog is the Georgian shepherd it is not polit to other northern Caucasians who lives with that dog a thousands years
It's a historical fact that Russians came to Georgia in droves to take away all the breeding dogs. Now they claim it as their "national dog". Nonsense.
Never trust a russian that claims anything originated from georgia to be theirs, they do that pretty often. And as a georgian im glad finally someone asknowledged the fact that the specific breed is originated from georgia and its not a russian breed.
Sounds as though they have a personality very much like the Russian Samoyeds. Beautiful
I love this sooo much!❤️😭🤤The animals on this channel are always beautiful🙏
i grow up with caucasian shepherd he was my best friend he died 13 years old , he was BEAST
I have owned large dogs in Northern Canada all my life. I had two golden retrievers over 120 pounds who I witnessed on two occasions taking on black bears. Wolf killers? Any well raised healthy dog will fight to protect his property or his family no matter the breed. I applaud your efforts for the raise awareness and propterly represent this breed. I owned a pit bull who was my biggest baby and the most loving dog of all of them.. Good dog means a good owner.
It's the first time I've seen this breed of dog, and it sure is beautiful! Large is an understatement, and that's what would make it very difficult to have around the house in a sub-division or crowded neighborhood. Wish I had the ability to have one for sure, but reality keeps me from being able.
My mini pit looks terrifying but is the biggest baby ever. Like literally shes not intimidating at all close up cause she just gets on her belly and begs for loves
Debra Savage my dad's friend has a really ugly pit bull that is so so sweet. her name is donna and she's something else! great dogs all around :)
Yes, this dog is from Georgia (Country)
In rural Russia, these guys are everywhere. But!!!very cudly
The cuteness meter is off the charts! They look like bear cubs!
I used to walk to school and one person had two them unleashed in their front yard without a fence, that dog was huge and look fluffy but I was always scared so I brought knife to school.
Yeah you're dp explained 😂
i always pack a glock 17 for my school
Won't help mate
oh look at that cute face of the baby ovchaka. so lovely
Please consider making a video about Bernese Mountain Dogs
@@Aethuviel Same!
Ay H. Why? Not much to say about them other than they are great dogs and have a short life span
@@aubsarg0222 Anneka has been making lots of videos including not so "unique" looking dogs, such as the samoyed. so it would be interesting to see her interview a reputable breeder and talk more about the breed.
Make one about the Fila Brasilero
We have a 3 yo male and a female (we got her from russia) that will be 1 on oct 18th. They are amazing dogs! We have had them since they were puppies and they are fine around kids and other dogs. They are our babies, just very big ones!!
Those are some handsome specimens. Beautiful dogs.
i had 1... but then she died wen she was 9 years old😢😢
👺👺👺 Good she is liberated now. Her soul can go anywhere she likes smhh
9 years mean 77 Human
@@KARAPAS not a bad run for such a big dog
Can you all make a video on how he trains them or if he trains them at all such as potty training them. Cause I’ve been saving up my money to purchase one
They’re super smart training is a breeze mines was trained within the first week of me having him by the time he was 12 wks he knew to sit when I was placing his food dishes. He knew sit, stay, drop it, leave it, shake, and how to walk on a leash all by 14wks old. Just stay consistent and firm.
PiscesLuv♓️💞🐬🐠🐟 thank you so much !
PiscesLuv♓️💞🐬🐠🐟 Also how many times a day did you train the dog.
Please make a video about the Kangal!
I’m all for this. There’s not enough kangal videos out there
@@SimplePhotoshopTutorials exactly! Like to know more.
trgvideo we adopted one last year. He’s almost 2 now. Amazing dog. Got told he was a Spanish mastiff but after looking online he doesn’t look anything like them. The dogumentarytv videos on them are pretty good
They are so fluffy 😍
I have a Caucasian shepherd a girl she grown up and she is so nice when people come over she is nice to them Caucasian shepherd are great dogs
I have been forcefed an overdose of cuteness, thank you
Thank you so much for taking the time and adressing some of the comments on the last video. I was one of the people that thought Caucasian Shepherds weren't portrayed correctly. I don't think Caucasians are an aggressive dog breed, however as you stated in this video you have to socialise them (as any dog) to get a laid back pet.
My initial concern was that "exotic" breeds like the Caucasian became pretty popular over the last few years and a lot of first time dog owners get them because of their looks, but fail to educate themselves about the needs of the breed and dog training in general.
Presenting the Caucasian Shepherd just as a cute, fluffy giant may sent the wrong idea to those people and they might end up with an unsocialised, potentially dangerous dog. And in the end the dog will be paying for the mistakes their owners made one way or another.
So again, thank you for this video.
Omg.. I just want to HUG it. There so fluffy
Did he say the puppies way right around a stone??? What stone??!! Lolol. 😀🤗❤️✌️. Absolutely love those puppies!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Exactly
Oh
My
God
They’re so FLUFFY !!!!

Beautiful dogs,great video many thanks
My dad had one growing up in Armenia. They’re awesome dogs.
Lol I heard “and look, we have a giant pile of cocaine”
🤣
Starving dreams about eating
I have a caucasian mountain dog, and she is the sweetest dog ever. It's not the dog that's vicious, it's the way they are trained and brought up. She is having puppies in June.
Russian ovcharka are fearsome dogs presentation of raw power but still kindness and beauty in them.
They look like adorable huggable bears :)
I'd be interested to see an episode with legitimate info about Eurasiers. Seems like videos about the breed are nonexistent.
I would not like to be the poop cleaner you would need a bin bag
@@corinnewaller9083 neither russians and armenians have nothing to do with this dogs theyre 100% Georrgian, but russians took them when theu invaded caucasus:)
one of the best dogs on the planet
They’re so beautiful, I melting of cuteness ❤❤😊
Mine is Nymeria, she's almost two months old. I live in Kashmir (Central Himalayas) and she loves it here. She actually lives with me in my room, absolute fluff ball.
maximus is what i named my gsd, he's 7 months old and 90 lbs
Beautiful video 😇😇😇 so much of floofs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Keep up the work. Very informative.
However if you can give information about chow-chow in some coming video 😇❤️
I so want to dive into a big pile of Caucasian Shepards and snuggle.
Beautiful puppies and beautiful young lady
This video made me cry. I had one of these and one day I woke up and she wasn't there... my family gave her away as she was "annoying".
Another LOVELY video. Thanks. I agree: the owner makes dog. We need to be responsible with these beautiful animals. Cheers from Brazil.
