Our Caucasians have been doing an excellent job guarding the sheep and birds from wildlife. With the arrival of many newborn lambs, it’s been a hectic season, which delayed our breeding plans. However, we’re now preparing for a planned litter this fall — stay tuned! 🐕🦁🐑🦢🐓🦆🐤🐣🐥🐛
I’ve received many inquiries about whether Caucasian Shepherds can get along well with other animals. Here’s how my gentle giants protect sheep, ducks, chickens, and cattle:
💂♂️ Guarding sheep
Our gentle giants have thick coats that allow them to thrive in Alberta winters and protect sheep all year round.
🦆 Guarding birds
Beyond their role as guardians, our Caucasian Shepherds demonstrate remarkable intelligence and adaptability. They integrate with other animals on the farm, displaying a keen ability to protect ducks and chickens.
🐮 Bond with Cattle
Here’s a photo of a female puppy from our 2023 summer litter. Now a giant at just 12 months old, she has grown up with cattle and is happy and intimate with her new friends. We appreciate the owner sending this wonderful update!
🍉 Our Breeding Delayed
We delayed our breeding plans due to travel. We now expect a litter in late autumn. This is a photo of the mom with her puppies from the 2023 litter.
I’ve received many inquiries about the temperament of Caucasian Shepherds. I hope to address some of the questions in this newsletter.
🍧🍨🍦Do they thrive in cold weather?
Our Caucasian Shepherds thrive in Alberta’s chilly winters. To keep them cozy on the coldest nights, make sure to provide a shelter stocked with dry grass or hay.
🐑🐔🐄Getting along with other animals?
Beyond their role as guardians, our Caucasian Shepherds demonstrate remarkable intelligence and adaptability. They integrate with other animals on the farm, displaying a keen ability to herd sheep back to safety when required.
🧁🍭🍫 Bond with kids?
Having grown up with our children, our Caucasian Shepherds have developed a profound sense of patience and intimacy.
🥞🍰🧀 Caucasian shepherd’s love
No word can express that. All it takes is to sit beside them.

Our Caucasian Shepherd Dogs live with us on a farm with lots of trees and colorful sunset sky in west Canada 🙂 Caucasian Shepherd dogs adapt well to both city and farm life.
First of all, not every dog can enjoy -30 °C Canadian winter. Caucasian Shepherd dogs can thrive outside in Alberta cold winters. They have a shed with hay to keep warm. If we need them to guard live stocks, they can stay outside 24 hours.
Caucasian Shepherd dogs are not very active dogs. One walk in the morning and another in the evening is enough when in the city. On farm they can decide if they want to run, chase, search or just rest.
They have a large body and courage which gives them confidence. So they will not get nervous when they meet dogs or people. Their confidence makes them calm in the city and on the farm.
