Before you buy a Caucasian Shepherd puppy you should talk with the family about this. Everyone has to agree with this idea. Each family member must agree to participate in the education of a puppy.

Updated Considerations

Owning a giant guardian breed like the Caucasian Shepherd has gotten more complicated in some practical ways since this article was written. More homeowner's insurance policies now specifically exclude large guardian breeds by weight or by name, so it's worth checking a policy carefully before committing to one. Spay/neuter timing guidance has also been updated for giant breeds specifically: current recommendations suggest waiting until 12 to 18 months old, later than older blanket advice, since sex hormones support the joint development a dog this large depends on to avoid orthopedic problems later in life.

Temperament testing at the breeder level has also become more standardized for guardian breeds, with reputable Caucasian Shepherd breeders increasingly evaluating puppies for appropriate guarding instinct versus excessive reactivity before placing them, rather than leaving that assessment entirely to the new owner.
