Caucasian Mountain Dogs have a weather-resistant, double coat, so they can live outside the house as well, but you have to provide them enough shade and water in warmer weather. Apart from that, their coat is dense and usually medium in length, therefore weekly brushing is advised. The Caucasian Mountain Dog is a very healthy breed; there are no specific health issues you should be aware of.

This breed is not too clever, that’s why training can consume lot of time and effort, but with consistency, firmness and much reward it is not a hard job. They should socialize early to behave well.

All in all these dogs are the best for people who have a big house with a large, fenced yard and would like to protect themselves or their family. If you can provide them these, plus loads of exercise a Caucasian Mountain Dog will be your best friend.

Yes, it is. Just imagine the situation from the point of view of your Caucasian Mountain Dog. He is part of the family, often treated as “the kid”, and then, suddenly, a new creature arrives and takes all the attention of his beloved family. It is quite similar to what older children feel, when a little brother/sister arrives. One of the differences is just that the dog can’t speak English

Actually, if we are aware of this ‘problem’ in advance, the situation can be handled, but it needs consciousness and to be started in time, long before the baby’s arrival. Let’s see how we can prepare our Caucasian Mountain Dog for the new family member.

If your dog’s daily routine has to be changed with the baby’s arrival (it probably will), you should start changing the rules much earlier, giving him plenty of time to get used to the new set up. This way it isn’t going to be so sudden and shocking. If your Caucasian Mountain Dog hasn’t really been trained before, it’s high time to start. He should learn at least a few commands, like sit, stay, etc. This way, he’ll be easier to handle.

Many families worry about their dog endangering the health of the child, so the best thing to do is to take your pet to the vet, get him checked and get some advice. Get your Caucasian Mountain Dog used to the new smells, sounds in advance (blankets, lotions, toys). It’s also a good idea, that just after your baby was born, send home a blanket that the baby had been in, so your dog can experience the child’s smell in advance. It is very important to know that your Caucasian Mountain Dog will get a lot less attention from the mother, so when taking the baby home for the first time, the mother should greet the dog, so it is better if someone else is carrying the baby.

It is also a good idea not to leave them alone together at the first times, until your Caucasian Mountain Dog feels comfortable with the baby, because, for example, it is very possible that the dog won’t tolerate the child’s crying very well in the beginning. You have to teach him that this is a normal sound, and you should motivate him not to bark (with treats, for example).

And the most important rule for last, maybe it seems too obvious, but it’s still worth mentioning: try to give as much attention to your Caucasian Mountain Dog as you can. The point is that he has to feel that you do care about him. If you keep this in mind, most probably there will be no problem.
