He is beautiful!! I have an Anatolian Shepherd he is big as well, and we did our research as well and made sure to socialism him. They are magnificent dogs
the coat actually protects them from heat as well! I learned as much when my cat continued to go up against our radiators during the heatwave here in britain last year
My neighbour has a Caucasian Mountain dog named Bruno that weighs 160 pounds.The area is rural,so we had problems with coyotes.Since Bruno’s arrival,that problem no longer is an issue.
Burglar looks at the dog and thinks, well this owner gets it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 If you are gonna have a dog watch your house, make sure its a big one lol. Imagine seeing that in the window, next house 🤣
I think if you encounter a dog like that as a burglar you immediately think about another kind of gig. That is if you live to tell. Maxximus seems like a docile nice dog but you don't know what happens when he sees you at night without his owner. My neighbours dog is a big baby when his owner is with him. Been living next to him for 4 years but if i walk into his garden without the owner present he'll still bite the crap out of me
Robber: Breaks into house* Maximus: "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a smol boi, husband to a FLOOF. And I will have my Cuddles, in this life or the next!"
@power European wolves are small up to 50 kg, Russian up to 80-90 kg, there are also larger sizes. They have a stronger bite force than any dog, they are more agile and stronger.
@power perhaps the kangal's bite is a little stronger, but certainly not 3 times, the bite force cannot be measured with 100% accuracy. I know all these breeds of dogs, not one of them has no chance against the big, russian gray wolf. Even the farmers speak of one big wolf, you need it like a mine. 2-3 dogs (Alabai) and this is the strongest dog on the planet.
@@toniva6700 Yeah it could! They could even outgrow Timber Wolves at 220lbs! A Bite force of over 500lbs and way stronger and more buff than a Wolf! It could easily take any Wolf there is!
@@toniva6700 I know but look at these dogs. If they are trained to be more aggressive then they are, it could easily take down any Wolf! They are also heavier than most Wolves! I do not underestimate A Wolfs true power but look at this animal! It only takes all five because all five try to fight it! Even if one just tried to fight it the dog could definitely win!
Animal experts: this is a very dangerous animal Everyone: ok Animal expert: and it can be cute sometimes Everyone: I want it Animal expert: but you may get yourself kill without the prop... Everyone: I W A N T I T
My thoughts exactly. That's why I don't have a goldfish. These things are bloodthirsty killers. Could finish you off when you aren't watching yourself in an instant. Or a hamster. Cute? More like a tiny, cruel, fluffy monster. These things kill people! Can't believe anyone would seriously want to keep them! And last month a dwarf bunny ate somebody's kid! Again! Ripped it's head clean off and swolled the rest whole... These feral beasts are the most dangerous and vicious of them all! A breed from Caerbannog is known to leave nothing but the bones of their victims once they are finished with them...
Mr bowhunter You are absolutely spot on. These dogs are not so easy to train and socialize. He has Maximus around strangers and little children and other dogs and Maximus is extremely well behaved. His owner is very dedicated and did a fantastic job with Maximus.
I think the owner is one of the few licensed trainers and breeders in the UK, if not the only one, for the Caucasian Ovcharka. So he must have the capital, hes a businessman. Hes extremely knowledgeable as well.
@@SmugLlama1234 they dont weigh anywhere near 400lbs , Maximus considered one of the largest of the breed is 80 kilos, which is 176lbs. The largest weighed was around 220lbs at best .
5:33 - "If you saw him would you find him intimidating?" Well, that depends a lot on whether he has a leash, and his owner nearby isn't it?! Imagine jogging at a park and suddenly running into Maximus for the 1st time ever in your life - with no other human within 500 meters. You and Maximus, eye-to-eye, only 10 meters apart, and you see he has no leash. :) I doubt you will say - "Oh so cute! I will hug this Big cuddly bear!!!!"
@Messup7654 no our homes are built differently they are made to trap in heat, We have insulation inside the walls the roof and sometimes in the flooring. We only get warm weather for a month in the summer the rest of the year is cold and wet so Homes don't have much use for AC, our avarge temp is around 18C(64F) you will only find it in some offices and stores but even then not all of them.
I guess his owner cuddles has made him one gentle giant and calm around men, but still when he sense something off, i'm sure he'll quickly change his temper.. that's one beautiful dog u have there sir..
This is so with my dog Zeus. He's a rottie/pitbull/cane corso mix. I'm the cuddliest person ever, so he is so affection and cuddly and lovey (even all my cats are, and ppl become more so when I'm around lol) - but when something is off, like you said, he's a WHOLE other kind of dog.
Yummy no but Beethoven is pronounced differently than bethoven would be. Jack is the same as jak, also I wasn’t called jak because the correct spelling is jack and my mum went to primary school
@@jackhenderson2562 I clearly stated IT was my friend's dog, not my. Do don't understand your questions. All I understand is you are the type that musy say something, but not necessairly smart or meaningful.
@@jackhenderson2562 LOOOL Jack is not the "correct spelling", it's just your name. Jack, Jak, Jac all are correct as names go, there is no such a thing as a "wrong spelled" name. If your parents name you 1234HolaMola, then that is your correct name. So both Beethoven and Bethoven are correct, Beethoven was the name of a composer, and Bethoven is the name of his friends dog. Simple, do you understand now, before bringing "primary school" and bullshit, learn your stuff, or you making a fool of yourself.
This owner clearly knows how to train a large dog. This breed untrained can easily badly injure or kill people. He has obviously socialised and trained this dog from a young age and is an example to others who are thinking of owning this type of powerful breed. Lovely animal 👌👍
@@Frazsier-lx1gr we don’t have bears or wolves but we do have feral youths armed with knives, machetes and XL Bully dogs. Maybe people own dogs like these to protect themselves as our police and politicians seem unable or unwilling to.
Hi. Get ready for the ultimate dog! I pray that the breeder you are getting him from will be willing and able to guide you along the way. If I did not have that when I got my first one, things would have been bad (and I was an experienced dog trainer at the time). There is no book or internet research that can prepare you for this breed! I have had the privilege of owning three of these majestic Marvel's. And to say that I love this breed is a gross understatement! If there is anything you need to know, please do not hesitate to ask me. Take care and may The God of Abraham Issac and Jacob bless you.
Just don't get one unless you're very experienced and know absolutely everything about the breed and what you need to do to get it properly trained. It's incredibly taxing. You need to live in a good place preferably house with big lawn etc...
I live in Georgia where this guys are bred , I had one of these , I called him batura, pretty normal name in our country , well when I was young my parents took our Caucasian shepherd to the mountains in the monastery where there are sheeps. After a year I hear some news about my dog and I was so surprised what happened to him , so the story is this that while my dog was patrolling the territory two wolves came out and started to attack the sheep. This giant of a dog started fighting them off and actually won killing one of them and wounding the other one which eventually bled to death. For some time I couldn't actually believe that batura did it but the owner actually came down to us and again said the same thing the guy that told me the story, these guys are beasts which can go head on against wolves
@@nataliecohen9658 well that happened about 5 or 6 years ago , I'm sure batura is resting well now , I sometimes hate myself for not going to see him even once
@@ReyneAutumn fun fact that because the dog and cat can see your soul, they know that you are gone after you die. Then that's the last meal you will be able to give them, the only time they eat you is when they are trapped and that's all they have to survive. Humans will do the same thing.
@@rodneyarmstrong3813 i don't think that's how it works because there's no definite proof that souls or spirits or corporeal things exist. There's a scientific explanation behind it. I remember about it talking about the frustration of dog or cat or somewhere along that line. It's not good to assume that there's supernatural event happening behind it. That's why science was created in order to explain things and to reveal the truths of this world. But then again if that's what you believe about the reason for their odd behavior then i shall respect your comment.
@@rodneyarmstrong3813 only the blind faith hides the truths of science and the church lies about knowledge because dump humans are easyer to control you know
My father has a rescue, white caucasian shepherd (called bear) weighing in at 82kgs and he's not quite done growing yet. He was imported from Russia then abandoned at a kennel by a moron owner who didn't want such a large dog anymore, my father made a delivery to the kennel and met him then decided to rescue him after owning Leonbergers before and already having an american and German shepherd. Do NOT get one of these dogs if you live in a small space or have no previous experience, they are absolute units and in the wrong hands, lethal. They are very intelligent dogs and need exercise and mental stimulation. Despite their background, he's a gentle giant (it's always how they are raised) and happily lets my 2 year old nephew clamber all over him and plays football with my 6 year old nephew, always aware of his size. The only time he's not cuddly is people entering my fathers home, rightly so, if invited in like Maximus, he'll happily let you in but will be watching!
Awesome that your dad rescued bear, I'm sure he's amazing. I've been around Leonberger dogs, the first time I saw one I had no idea what it was and asked the owner wth is this giant dog?? Haha
If you've owned dogs and have an understanding of the body language and instincts. then you should be good getting one of these after reading up on the breed. They have some good books on how to raise, teach, and care for them
@@SilverDragonEyess no... that's not enough. Those need space! If you have a big farm or a mention with a big property.... go for it! You'll love it If you just have a house with a garden or just an apartment in the middle of the city.... DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!
When I was a little kid, maybe 6 or 7 years old, I rode my bike all over God's ceation. I would ride, literally, miles from home. Alone. I always had "a thing with dogs". True to this day. Anyway, riding my bike to a corner store about 3 or 4 miles from home, I saw a GIANT dog chained on a porch. This dog was big. I mean BIG! So I stopped. Walked up the steps of this porch like I owned it. This GIANT, old dog saw me, and just wagged his tail weakly. We were immediate friends. I stopped by to spend time with him. I thought he was lonely. Never even saw who lived there. I know now, 55 years later, he was an Ovcharka. He was so calm and kind. He wasn't even my dog. I never even knew his name. Yet I still think of him. Dogs are like that.
u r right they are kind and loyal, ovacharka in Russian means shepherd, these shepherds are pure Georgian breed, stolen by Russians during soviet union, using them as prison guards, it is Georgian shepherd, we all have them n love them so much
3:32 That is about the worst thing you can do to a dog... putting your hands over and under his head... he can feels threatened an attack🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ this woman is a dangerous to herself 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I haven't read the manga, but I'm caught up in the anime. Do you happen to show off your quirk anymore or do you slowly become more of a background character?
@A.A.Ron Davis our dog ate guts and leftovers.... he loved dry meat. Don't know why but he did. Aaaaaand bones! Mostly cow bones. He just cracked them open with pure bite force. He saw puppys growing and dying from old age.... lived for two dog generations
People saying that it doesnt make them scared even a lil bit are delusional. NEVER approach a dog on the street like all those people did, with your hand in its face or even worse behind its head, especially a big boi guard dog like that! Have some manners, read a book on dog psychology, save yourself a world of pain.
I agree with that...was trying to pet a big dog like him...he stood silent until i raised my hand to pet him and jumped to bite my hand...luckily i saved my hand..and learnt a lesson

Regardless of its size the jaw is basically the same size with the same bite force of any other shepherd. In reality its not any more deadly than any other dog the difference is it has way better body for taking damage. Overall dogs don't scare me unless in packs. I've been attacked by 4 different dogs doesn't change the fact no matter how big a dog is it has eyes and i have thumbs you do the math I'd guarantee you id stop the biggest dogs in their tracks. Hell simple jiu jitsu would stop any dog. Big cats however scare me they attack stealthily have massive claws and jaws way worse than any dog
I am from Georgia 🇬🇪 we have a lot that looking Caucasian ( Georgian) shepherd in my village and I am proud this dog originally comes from my country😇 beautiful video you have brilliant dog❤
so, i guess these dogs are use to the cold i assume? if so, then the coldest areas in england should do the trick, i'm not a dog expert but if certain dog are use to the cold, always recommended stay there with them
The AKC says they can survive happily in most environments outside of extremely hot sun pounding ones. They just need some shade to get under every now and then
@gary grammat True information. My grandfather used to have 6 of them. Me and my cousins riding them like horses 😂. But this breed isnt for everyone. They need serious amount of food,exercise and a flock to guard. Nobody should kept those breeds in warm. Our farmers were always travelling. To mountains in summer and to steppes in winter to make sure flock and dogs doesnt get cold
You know what got to me, when that little girl in the pink jacket came to pet him, he just sat nicely and gently allowed the girl to pet him. Around kids, he seemed extremly calm. That's when I could tell he's a protector:)
Here in georgia, we pet them as homeguard dogs. they're quite common. in old centuries we used them as sheep flock guards. For people who dont know why this dogs have crop ears, it's because when they get *spiked Necklace* spikes will damage their ears So to preven that ears are crop from very young age. Spiked necklaces are used for against wolve attacks. You know wolfs like to attack as swarm and bite on neck.
@@xismxist I believe that three of these dogs may actually attack a bear and give some damage. But this specific one by himself, I really don't think so.
I think it's a shame to have such dogs in town, they need to be very active and usefull like guarding sheeps in a moutain or something, otherwise they just live boring lives ... They speak of him more like a trophee than a dog ...
@@Just_a_Tool I'm not referring to him, but to many people who simply show off with their big dogs in urban environment, living in apartments. These dogs are simply not built for such a things.
That's a dumb comment.... it's not always cold in Russia! We have really hot summers with other 40°C! And if he would overheat he would clearly show it! He's just chillin...
Met one on the street on Mansfield (small town in Nottingham shire, UK) recently. Never saw one in UK before and just had to stop and get into a chat. Was a huge silly pup, playful and friendly, opposite to those in Russia. Would never occur me to approach them. They usually lethal :D But in UK even Caucasian shepherds seem to become like ice-cream :)
I had 3 Caucasian shepherds throughout my life, one of them is still alive and I can tell you, they are the best dogs you could ever get. Not pretentious (this depends on personality too), loyal, well behaved and lovely overall❤️
We have a farm in the uk we had 2 Caucasians that we did everything research told us to do. They were absolutely fantastic with livestock ,they ran free with stock until about being 18 months old where unfortunately we had to retire them and bring them in the house as pets due to the risk of people being where they shouldn't be. Absolutely not the dogs fault but you've got to understand 2 dogs weighing 12 stone + doing what there bread to do isn't great around unknown people. They were fantastic with known people but ours weren't 100% safe around unfamiliar people that shouldn't be there ,not the dogs fault but getting a nip of a colly is totally diffrent from these ..... lovely dogs don't regret having them but won't get another. We had 2 dog trainers that both said socialising is what was required and preceeded in training . Long story short in our experience its irrelevant how socialised they are if there around livestock they protect from everything including people. Luckily no harm was done. Can't reinforce how lovely these 2 dogs were with family and livestock but unless your in the middle of no where then please just understand what your getting into. Oh and by the way ours didn't take kindly to other breeds even though they were just pups when introduced. Both sadly are passed away now RIP oz and milly x
:) The Soviet dog handler Alexander Mazover brought the Georgian shepherd to Russia, of course, the Bolsheviks renamed and called the Caucasian Shepherd, it is clear why and since then everyone together repeats the Directive of the Bolsheviks. There is no Caucasian shepherd, in the Caucasus Mazover found 4 types of sheperds: Georgian, Armenian, Azerbaijani and Dagestan; he chose the Georgian , so - the Georgian shepherd

@@lucyporriton6162 i don’t need to. A 150lb dog that’s 2.5feet tall can’t even put a scratch on a bear that’s 600lb and 6.5 feet tall. Bears have such thick skin and so much fat that they can take a shotgun blast to the face and get right back up on their feet, this dog can’t even take a pellet gun to the face. And wolves, yea they have a bite force nearly twice as strong and been killing since they were puppies for many generations.
@@lucyporriton6162 bears can kill a moose with one hit, what’s makes you think a tiny dog can survive that? What is the dog gonna do? But the bear, it won’t even get through the skin lmao
He is not from russia he is from georgia first georgian shepherd was made in khazbegi(city in mountain in georgia 🇬🇪) russia change name when we occupied georgia in 1921
Despite my A/C, my Caucasian always sleeps in the my walk-in shower because the tiles are cool. He's basically taken over that shower. lol. They love cool weather! Mine are not terribly heat tolerant.
I got so much respect for this guy. Hes truly done a fantastic job with this dog. To be able to walk him in public and be gentle with strangers is a tremendous achievement.
This dog Max has been incredibly well socialized and also has a great temperament. Don't be fooled... this breed can be incredibly dangerous and is very independent and stubborn.
@Kim Barack This breed is not a Golden Retriever and is not for first time dog owners, or for people who don't have thr emotional and physical strength to conttol them.
I would love to see him and my ovcharka, Týr next to each other just to compare the size. Love this breed. Best dogs ever. I've owned st Bernard, great pyranees and gsd. After finding this breed, the CO is the last dog breed I'll ever own... and yes. 100% not for a novice owner.
My experience with this breed was in my dad’s neighborhood after he died. We’d walk the MS neighborhood we’d always be accompanied by a Caucasian who liked to walk with us. Always walked out in front of us, but always looked backed to make sure we were still there. This wasn’t even our dog. We didn’t even know who owned the dog, but he watched us like a military trained dog, which we found out he wasn’t. I have for dogs now, but if I were to get a new dog, I would seriously consider this breed because they are are very people oriented, protective and if you have crops or land, they will help you out.
I would fancy cuddle with Maximus just hang out and chill . He looks like real good lad . I like that attitude of a big dog it's like whatever I'm cool if your cool
Jovan Popovic what are you taking about it is not russian. It is Caucasian. Russia is just occupying that territory right now. Russia is not part of caucasus lol. Georgia, Azerbaijan, chechnia, dagestan and other northern nations are part of Caucasus not russia lmao.
@@smartboy2788 I mean... Russia own part of Caucasia (rightfully) , but the dog is a soviet breed since they mostly popularized it and developed it to it's current state... But no it's not from the Russian part of Caucasia originally
This is Georgian shepherd, during USSR Russians took so many of them to Russia, that they almost went extinct in their motherland, Russians called them Caucasian shepherd, now they are trying to change it into Russian shepherd.
Yes, the Georgian Shepherd belongs to Georgia only! But this is a hybrid dog- Soviets took the Georgian Shepherd, Armenian Gampr, and Circassian dog from the Ottomans. Then they bred them together and made the Caucasian dog- it has never been called Russian because that is not where it comes from. It is a mixed dog, made by Soviets.
