Oldest Molosser Site .
This is first , oldest & only ACCURATE multi breed sites in English.
Other Molosser sites run by less than ethical breeders cause BSL.
hey are commercially motivated money making operations for breeders of the
Caucasian Ovcharka breed. In which you will find common;
You know " my breed is the best toughest purest etc etc" all others stink.
So they created inaccurate breed profiles for the Central Asian breed.
When they in turn are spammed thru search engines .
To drum up sales for the web site owners Caucasian Ovcharka's.
Check any site you read for reference material . If it is missing then it is
simply propaganda created by trolls who need sales for unwanted dogs.
Some of these people attend shows stalking good breeders cause their own dogs are so
aggressive they can NOT be handled in public . And state if you can tough a Ovcharka then it is incorrect for the breed. What a loud of hogwash.
You see the Caucasian Ovcharka thanks in part to the bad National Geographic show, has become the new breed for the macho idiot crowd. Attracting tons of backyard breeders who do NOT
work, test or show dogs. But sell them on levels of aggression they perceive to see in their breed.
And if a breed such as Central Asian can protect without be aggressive to all strangers then that
cuts into their own imaginary world of what a guardian breed should be.
Personally I think a few penis extension's would save the Caucasian Breed as well as the confusion of the Central Asian allot of heart ache.
Heads up Please read the Dog Mafia*
J De Palma has been active in the dog community for over 30 years
Public Award Perry Cuomo age 11 North Shore Animal League
Rescuing many dogs, stopping puppymills, beating many in the show ring.
Plus running the best sites & biggest dogs shows.
Doing this made enemies.
In addition many of these people are a active part of the Dog Mafia,
The De Palmas speak the truth & if the truth hurts tough!
When a dog produces a issue in our kennel or someone else's(related to us) we will admit. And take the steps to lesson the recurrence of that issue coming up again.
With that said beware of Net trolls.
Central Asian Shepherd ( non ovcharka) vs Caucasian Ovcharka Compare or corrections.
Warning: You will find many inaccurate CAS breed profiles & comparisons online .
Written by Caucasian Ovcharka breeders who need to generate sales for their breed.
Read the CAS FCI standard ~Then read the the CO FCI Standard .
Note how they do NOT match online info.
Common misnomers about the CAS when compared to the CO.
1. CAS live only 9-11 years. FALSE
12 Year old Tasha + many others are outliving that WRONG info ~oldest CAS on record is 17.
2. CAS Roam : FALSE.
CAS patrol & are bonded to their owners. They did NOT go walk about without the nomads in tow.
They can & will extend territory to patrol or defend , mark & return home _without proper fencing.
3. CAS are ALL _dog aggressive, FALSE.
Both the Caucasian & Central Asian Ovcharka have lines used & bred for dog fighting.
Working Central Asian shepherds as well as Caucasian Ovcharka are NOT dog aggressive.
So basing a comparisons on one type would be misleading .
** I have tons of 2006 Russian Magazines showcasing CO & CAO being fought.
But again some US CO people tend to wish to BASH the entire landrace of CAS ,while they breed the CO.
Not understanding what affects one leads to BSL for all.
4. CAS are healthier than CO's FALSE.
CO have a much higher rate of hip dysphasia, but these dogs can live with this disease.
CAS have half the rate of dysphasia . But are starting to show ACL tears, Knee issues as well as ED & SD.
As long as both breeds are bred for HUGE size to produce big show dogs vs working dogs.
They will one day be no different than the Neapolitan Mastiff of today.
Thus the life spans will be cut in half like the Neo down to 6-7 years..
#1 killer for both breeds is bad temperament _aggressive _owner dominant dogs .
5. Temperament: Misleading: CAS are NOT the most protective of the Troika Ovcharka Breeds
Out of the 3 breeds using the Russian name Ovcharka.
The CAS gives the _most _warning.
It is a disqualifying fault for CAS to be liable to anger , or a choleric temperament , uncontrollable irrability .
Regards to emotional displays, it goes back to the breeders work & selection of temperament.
Working CAS meet & great all strangers. Showing much emotional & playfulness with family & friends.
Sometimes acting goofy. Others are on guard, all CORRECT CAS should be approachable with a owners cue.
Some simply need physical & verbal cues.
So go out and meet both breeds & as many breeders as you can ,in public & on home turf.
If the dogs live kenneled separate from each other or can not be male to male or female to female or M/F.
Then you are getting a line not suited for pack family life.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
It is my opinion backed up by the standard for the breed . the Caucasian makes for a much better guard dog.
ince they have a in standard 'aggression to strangers vs distrust..
Most Caucasian have such a serious bond with their owners they really do not wish to interact with strangers they tend to be more aloof, ( exceptions to apply).This is where the Caucasian was bred to be a stationary guardian .
With limited contact outside family and villagers.
Where the original CAS were bred to be the walking guards of huge nomadic tribes,.
Thus interacting with many , resulting in a lower active defense drive.
If you meet either breed & the dog is out of control pls don't blame the breed, blame the breeder & the owner.
Facts about the Caucasian Ovcharka often confused with the Central Asian.
Caucasian's served in the Russian Military kennels .
Caucasian's is the breed of dog exhibited on the National Geographic show ..
Caucasian's are more well known, and if often confused with the lesser known CAS..
Caucasian's has been banned in various areas of the world .
Caucasian's were accepted by AKC for performance events . 1st step to full AKC acceptance.
A breeding pair of Caucasian's were imported in a dog fighting ring in Illinois bigger than the Vick case.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Hopefully the CAS will not follow to closely in the Caucasian poor foot steps in improper breed popularity.
In conclusion NEVER let any site including this one -make up your mind about either breed or any breeder.
Simply talk is cheap if NOT backed up with facts and evidence & a resume.
