Dog breeds too dangerous to keep at home

Caucasian Shepherd Dog

Originally bred to guard livestock, Caucasian Shepherd Dogs—also known as Caucasian Ovcharkas—are a bold, dominant, and fiercely protective breed.

Their unwavering loyalty is a defining characteristic, but without early and consistent socialization, their natural guarding instincts can become excessive. With their imposing stature and serious demeanor, they embody the guard dog they were meant to be.
