Caucasian Mountain Dog

I've never heard of this dog before so I look it up on the internet. This is one beautiful dog. Larger with a white, fawn or reddish color body with a dark face. When I firsted looked at the face I though bear. Looks very powerful. It is use for guarding anmial and beileve it or not people. Very protective of it's owner. Not the type of dog I would want on my bad side because I do believe I would lose. But it is like most breeds, it depends on it's own on the temperment of the dog. But they sure are pretty.

My friend has one. I never met her as this is another forum, but from what I see she is an absolute doll. Very beautiful and playful!

Yes' I've heard of them. They are considered the most dangerous breed, and its not just a stereotype like pit bulls. They are supposed to show signs of aggression by the age of 8 weeks. Ridiculous way to ruin a beautiful dog.

Has this aggression been bred in to them? How sad.

Don't believe every thing you hear. Check things out for yourself.They
are very trainable dogs, but require a firm hand and socialiation at an early
age.Not unlike a lot of other breeds.

The special I saw on NG was very scary. They are beautiful and very rare. On National Geographic they showed a C.M.D dragging it's owner a grown man across a lawn, the dog was chasing a UPS truck. They also showed how as little puppies if you turn one over on their back it will try and attack you with it's teeth, the puppy was about 6 weeks old if that. The one woman who was a breeder was very good and talked about the consent need for socialzing and training. However they do have a very very high rate of growing mean later on, I don't know if this is an inborn or if this is due to not having the proper training. There are only a handful of places in the US that breed these dogs.
