Ten reasons not to raise Caucasian dogs: 1. Caucasian dogs are large fierce dogs with great strength. Although their temperament is not overly paranoid, their attack ability is extremely strong. They are banned from being raised in cities, so it's not possible to raise Caucasian dogs in urban areas.

2. Caucasian dogs have large body size. Their height ranges from 64 to 90 cm. Weight range: 45 to 100 kg. The minimum shoulder height of an adult dog: males exceed 25.5 inches, females exceed 24.5 inches. Even Caucasian puppies are quite large, they eat a lot, so the economic burden of raising them cannot be ignored.

3. If not well controlled, Caucasian dogs easily cause trouble for the owner. Although their temperament is relatively stable, they are still dogs. If raised or trained improperly, or neglected in management, when approached by strangers or if they feel threatened, they can attack. The consequences would be unimaginable, like a fierce lion—who could endure that?

4. Caucasian dogs have strict requirements for their raising environment. For such a large dog, the required living space is considerable. They cannot be raised just anywhere and need to stay away from crowded places to avoid frightening and attacking people.

5. Caucasian dogs are large, require lots of exercise, and eat a lot, which leads to significant expenses. When young, they can be fed dog food, but as they grow, they need home-cooked food; adult Caucasians cannot afford commercial dog food. Even as puppies, the cost is quite high. This demands financial foundation and time.

6. Caucasian dogs have a lot of fur, daily bathing and grooming take a lot of time and effort. Although many pet grooming shops exist now, it’s unlikely any of them want to bathe such a large fierce dog. Bathing a Caucasian dog feels like paying with money and risking your life. You can only spend time doing it yourself; even those familiar and bonded with the dog dare not approach them easily.

7. Caucasian dogs have great strength. Generally, ordinary people cannot take responsibility for walking them. With an adult weight of 100 kg, such a huge predator’s strength is unquestionable. To walk them, you must control their leash. If you are not a strong man, it’s very difficult to control them. They cannot just go wherever they want; we must strictly restrain them. Therefore, dog lovers with small strength and female friends should avoid raising them.

8. Caucasian dogs have strong protective instincts, which we must pay attention to. When walking with a Caucasian dog, do not play roughly with nearby people or friends. If the dog’s strong protective instinct kicks in, your friend will suffer. This is especially important when walking the dog outside, as the Caucasian dog is particularly excited then.

9. Caucasian dogs are relatively heat-sensitive dogs. The northern regions suit them better. Their thick coat is also a burden in summer. Attention must be paid to heat prevention during summer, avoiding exposing them to direct sunlight. Walking the dog in the evening or early morning is preferred.

10. Caucasian dogs are not cheap. Ordinary-looking ones are not expensive, but those with better appearance cost over 3,000 yuan.
