About

This large sheepdog from the Russian steppes was bred not for herding but for guarding flocks against dangerous predators. Quick to react, naturally dominant, and highly protective, the South Russian Shepherd Dog—also known as the Ovtcharka (meaning “sheep-herder” in Russian)—needs an owner who can establish firm leadership early in training.
