Breed History
The History of the Caucasian Shepherd Dog
Truth, History and Myths
Introduction
Over the past few months, I have received many questions about the Caucasian Shepherd Dog.
• Is it true that the White Caucasian Shepherd Dog is extremely rare?
• Where did this remarkable breed originate?
•Why do Caucasian Shepherd Dogs from different regions of the Caucasus look so different?
• Where does history end and legend begin?
That is why I decided to start a new series of publications.
Every Sunday, together we will open a new page in the history of this extraordinary breed.
These will not be dry articles copied from the Internet.
Instead, we will bring together three worlds.
Historical facts supported by reliable sources.
Legends and stories that have been passed down through the mountains of the Caucasus for generations.
And, most importantly, the knowledge of people who have devoted their lives to this breed.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Tatiana Polozhentseva, who has dedicated more than 35 years to White Caucasian Shepherd Dogs and kindly agreed to review every chapter, enrich it with historical details and share her priceless experience.
I truly hope that by the end of this series you will not only know the history of the Caucasian Shepherd Dog.
I hope you will understand
