Dog breeds that are too dangerous to have at home

Caucasian Shepherd Dog

Originally bred to protect livestock, the Caucasian Shepherd Dog—also known as the Caucasian Ovcharka—is a bold, dominant, and fiercely protective breed.

Their unwavering loyalty is a defining trait, but without early and consistent socialization, their protective instincts can become overbearing. Still, with their imposing physique and serious expression, they certainly look the part of the guardian they’re meant to be.
