Not for everyone: Dog breeds with a high risk in the household

Caucasian Shepherd Dog

Originally bred to guard livestock, the Caucasian Shepherd Dog – also known as the Caucasian Ovcharka – is a courageous, dominant, and fiercely protective breed.

Its unconditional loyalty is remarkable, but without early and consistent socialization, its protective instincts can become excessively strong. With its imposing physique and serious expression, it undoubtedly looks like the guardian it was bred to be.
