Are Caucasian Ovcharka dogs good with other family pets?
Would a caucasian ovcharka (also known as a caucasian shepherd or a caucasian mountain dog) be good with other animals? Let's say if they were to live on a farm, with farm animals and other dogs and cats? I've heard that they consider any family pet to be there pack so they would be protective and loving towards these other animals, but does anyone have any experience with this? The dog would obviously be well socialized and raised around other animals and people. Have you ever owned one? What are your experiences?

The breed was created to protect and its VERY serious about its job. It has no use for humans, it does bond with a flock or a herd well.
It is used in Russia as a prison dog and as a guard dog to protect missile silos. It does have HUGE aggression issues and its not a pet, its a working animal and needs to be treated as such.

A neighbor of mine owns one and I have to say its quite impressive. It always eyes other people ( including me) when they walk past or near. It's gentle when trained and taken care of properly but it was bred to protect and that will never be taken out of the dog. Be careful and get the best trainer that you can afford to train the dog if you decide to get one.
