The Gampr is a landrace breed of livestock guardian native to Armenia. The dogs for centuries has protected the Armenian flocks from predators, most notably wolves. Brad Anderson a breed conservationist has been working with the breed and shares his insight into the Gampr.
Armenia is the forgotten highland of braves and Christian stronghold among hostile muslims. I would not doubt that anything coming from Armenia will be loyal and pure in character 👌
The arm*nian nation is a complete fabrication! They are very skilled in making fake documents. It is the pursuit of this nation to present things that do not belong to them as if they were theirs. The lands they currently inhabit, "Yerevan", are Azerbaijani territory. When Russia established the USSR, they armed arm*nians and other nations and carried out terrible massacres against Azerbaijan. Despite the fact that the whole world has recognized for 28 years that "Karabakh" is Azerbaijani territory, it has done nothing against this injustice. After 28 years, following an armed attack by arm*enians, Azerbaijan has taken back part of its territory by force.
The Arm*enian alphabet is stolen from the Ethiopian alphabet.
The Arm*enian flag is a reversed version of the Colombian flag.
The territories known as Arm*enia are actually Azerbaijani territories.
Statements by famous individuals about Arm*enians.
Alexandre Dumas (father) (French writer and traveler)
"Arm*enians have always been under the rule of rulers serving other religions. Eventually, they have turned into cunning and deceitful individuals who do not express their own thoughts and feelings."
Adam Mets (Swedish traveler)
"The worst of the white slaves are the Arm*enians. Their crimes are quite widespread. They only work well under the stick and fear."
Gabusname:
"The trouble with Arm*enians: they are thieves, miserly, always on the run, irresponsible, prone to unnecessary fighting, ungrateful, hypocritical, foul-mouthed, and their hearts are dirty."
Jemchujnikov (Writer)
"Screaming loudly is the sickness of this people. They may also encourage other nations to scream in their favor and provide false information."
Olga Smurova (Writer):
"If you see an Arm*enian in your dream, be very careful, for they will deceive you or betray you."
Alferd Kerte (German traveler):
"When dealing with Turks, talking is enough, there's no need for agreements... If you want to do business with Greeks, you must sign an agreement, if you have the idea of doing business with Arm*nians, then there's no need to sign anything, you'll just face lies. Dealing with Arm*nians is dangerous, seeing them in a dream doesn't bring any good either..."
Sadi Shirazi (Famous Persian poet)
"Arm*enians are the snakes of the earth, the enemies of humanity."
Wilson (English traveler):
"Arm*enians are greedy. They are shameless when it comes to exaggerating any lie, and they not only do these to themselves but also to others.
Respect to gampr, athletic, strong, smart, ancient breed.
Yep
Thanks;)

Gampr is strong, intelligent, independent, cleanly, loyal and fearless dog! Ancient armenians considered gampr as a divine companion for the human in this lifetime and hereafter!

I had many dogs in my life ,and seen a lot more.The strongest one was this breed.The only dog breed capable of fight bear and wolf.The look of the dog cannot really show how strong and how much stamina this dog has.Respect from Greece Armenian brothers.
Also would like to point that what distinguishes this breed besides size and fur is the loose skin. You will see lot of pictures of them with loose hanging skin around their necks and under abdomen. This is because in a fight wolves or other predators lounge for their necks and abdomen. But all they get is skin wile Gampr is able to rotate its head at least 120 degree wile predator hanging from its neck and bite their throat and subdue them. I have seen pictures of Gamprs after they fought off or killed wolves with lot of blood and cuts on their skin around their necks, but nothing serious. They recover very quickly. Predators have a very hard time damaging Gampr in throat and abdomen areas in a fight and if they grab legs then gamprs awsome teeth will tear them up. Also at around a week old gumpr’s ears are cut eliminating any enemy of being able to bite anything on it’s head and facing its teeth only.
In early 70s, when I was still living in Armenia, would see large sheep herds passing in front of my house. Only one or two shepherds and 2-4, sometimes 6-8 gamprs walking around them. One thing the gentleman in this video talks about needs a correction. Farmers keep sheep in farms only in winter there. When spring comes they take sheep to mountain pastures and stay there for 4-5 months. It is known that if they had experienced gamprs with them 6 years and older, sometimes they would split the large herds into smaller groups in passages and leave them only under dog’s protection. I have seen that gamprs the size of Siranoush above wearing a spiked necklaces. 2-3 such dogs would be enough against a wolf pack.
It’s not a good idea to keep Gampr in a confined space. They’re bred to move 10-40 kilometers a day with migrating sheep. If anybody wants to keep one as a pet, keep in mind to walk them maybe twice the distance of similar sized dogs needs. Let them in wildlife areas often to wonder, keep them from frustration.
It’s like the Siberian huskies. Whenever I see them in california housed in apartments I feel so sorry for them. Huskies are bred for open taigas and endless open space. They’re for covering distances of 50-100 kilometers in a day, in snow and open air. Not confined to 7000 square feet yards in hot southern states.
When gamprs are born farmers keep mother and puppies in sheep pans untill they start running around and out. So no matter what, this dog protects the sheep with its life. I heard stories of shepherds leaving sheep and goats with them for as long as couple of weeks and finding them safe afterwards. When necessary Gampr can hunt its food easily.
When sheep are slaughtered, farmer makes sure that all this dogs are never nearby, not to even smell sheep’s blood.
@K Ak You have no idea how strong this breed is ...even smaller samples are not even equal with other LGDs ,kangals ,cao ,caucasians etc or mastiffs
I discovered the Gampr breed when a female Gampr was tied to a pole in a park near my house. She was found by Animal control, she was rescued and is living on a farm now living her best life😢❤️
This is Nakhijevani line: very old version. Modern gamprs are more grey than brown but this is the actual gampr. And man what a beautiful dog.😍
I wouldn't say they are the actual gamprs. Most of the gamprs that are gray, which most of them are, look bigger and are stronger looking than this ones
@@haysupremacy4612the real one from ancient times of urartu the same one ruined by turkey and Russia by overbreeding is the tan 220 pound cage fighting monster. It’s called volkodav today.
Gamprs are a landrace dog and come in all kinds of different colors and sizes…

The dog breed is ancient and been part of Armenian history for thousands of years. I'm referring to the Armenian Kingdom.
Armenia existed waaaaaaaaaaaayy before Azerbijcan,so it still is Armenian

This dog Azerbaijan dog from lachn city💖💖💖💖
I think Brad speaks perfectly on his dogs. He might not be making major speeches but if you love dogs and are passionate about where they come from how he speaks is so relatable. There's pride but not ego. I love his videos especially. He's very well informed! When you spend most of your time working with amazing dogs how you talk doesn't matter.
Katharine Flower Agree! I feel as if I'm participating in a thoughtful, reflective conversation watching the Brad Anderson videos
Thank you!
Katharine Flower agree !! He is not just well informed but very approachable as well. The content is what people shd concentrate on more than anything else.
All the best Brad ! We get to know about many breeds sitting at home. Thanks for such informative videos !!!
Im getting one in a week. Shipping it all the way from Armenia to North Carolina. This is gonna be my second gampr. They may seem dangerous but will never attack anyone or hurt anyone if you walk him constantly and give him some basic training. This is not the type of dog you wanna get to play with. This is a protective dog that likes to guard its territory
Send me the contact, i want one . Thank you
How can I import one?
@@teamropingnavarrete5211 you still need one?
Gampr's mind is genetically set to protect their family and herd. Anything and anyone outside of their family, and the Gampr will always be on guard and ready to defend
I have an 11 mo beautiful Gampr boy who is fixed, chipped and vaccinated. I can't keep him but I love him so much. I have to give him up to a good home. He loves to play with other dogs, loves small dogs, kids and babies. He's 130 right now and lean. He's well trained. Knows sit, stay, leave it. Sleeps with me and my other dog. Do you know any good family looking for a large indoor dog? BTW he loves car rides because he thinks he's going to the dog park but he tolerates car rides very well in general.
let me guess?
my name is brad anderson...
Not hating, this guy is living the life, thumbs up for him!
Rambo David my name is Pokemon master😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And the disgasting voice
@@user-qe1qn8bg1t He said that his voice is like because he is allergic to dogs or something and it does that to his voice.
And actually these dogs do not just "ring the alarm". They are known to kill wolves and are even called "geyl-khekht" in Armenia, which literally means "wolf choker". They are supposed to stay disciplined enough to not chase after them and leave their territory but they are well known to attack and kill wolves that come on their land. It is one of the reasons their ears are cropped off and sometimes tails are even docked. If your Gampr is not willing to attack a wolf then it will be not be considered a good specimen. I know plenty of old breeders from the mountains in Armenia and they would sometimes even catch wolves and use them as training bait.
They do very well as pets. They are not just working dogs, my family has always had a Gampr even before the genocide. Stories have passed down by them and even others that Gamprs, were great babysitters, that they would stay by the kids when adults were not present and were very well tempered when it came to the little ones. They have a very big place in Armenia history I can talk about them for hours.
I just got a 2 month old princess from the shelter - any suggestions would be great - she is hiding right now - giving her space - I feel so bad though
My family has just rescued a gampr. He came from a working farm. And has just lost his alfa roll on the farm. Loosing his drive to work properly. He is the most amazing beautiful strong dog I have ever seen. He has become the alfa again at his new country home. He servays the land daily and keeps watch. I have never heard of a gampr before the family got one. I am so impressed with his majestic soul. The power of this dog is incredible. Not to be taken for granted. Great video. Keep up the great work.
Gampr is by far my favorite breed in the world. I've had the pleasure of having on in my life and all I can say is that they are amazing.
Excellent video 📹👏
Fantastic dog 🐕 proud ❤ for the Armenian Gampr.
Thank you !
All the LGD breeds I've see from the Caucus region are serious dogs and extremely capable. Historically these breeds, ate table scraps, fought wild animals and didn't have the best vet care if any. Caucasian LGD breeds steel has been sharpened by both man and natural selection over thousands of years. I've lived and worked in the Caucasian region, seen many of theses breeds on working farms, villages and steps, real deal! Great Video, great work, both Documentary TV and Brad Anderson!
R M so do they have less health issues than most breeds?
TheSNOTTBALL Yes, they tend to run healthier, live longer than similar sized purebred dogs. What people don't like to talk about is that the farmers from those regions cull and cull hard, they have little patience for dogs that are weak, disease prone, aggressive to flock and family. The ones that make it through will be tested by, more disease, predators and sheer capacity to keep up with the daily work. The Gampr, CAS and related breeds are still new to the West so they will remain healthy for a while, once they get very popular and people breed mainly for looks, the health will go out the door.
R M Wow! Thanks for that insight. it makes sense though if a hard living is how these farmers exist. Can't afford to take care of litters of non workers I guess. You are right about our mainly breeding for looks though. I love the Akita but nobody works them anymore. And the biggest flaw in the breed to me is the stubbornness. Since we all claim that we want our Akita to be guardians it makes sense to began breeding more easily trainable dogs. But everyone wants to say oh that's why I love them dadada. I love the breed but I absolutely hate that they are so stubborn. And at this point since we aren't using them for hunting where that independence may have served them, and instead are using them as guardians and protectors it is more responsible to have dogs that are more responsive. just my opinion.
Your absolutely right, the original purpose of the Akita was to hunt Bear and Boar. Its beautiful breed but has lost working purpose in suburbia. Sad as that doesn't have to happen, there are guys in Russia with Akita's doing man work, PP, IPO stuff, I imagine its a combo of hard work and having the right line with the right drives. The GSD and Mal are great examples, theses were originally herding breeds in Europe, now have been breed / re purposed for tracking, PP, Police, Sport and more.
i have 3 ovcharkas, they eat their own shit when they are yunger....
Loving these videos with Brad! I have a deep love of working breeds and can really respect how all of the breeds he gets serve a specific purpose and he knows exactly what he wants from each breed. There is no getting a breed because it's fashionable or trendy with him. Wish more people were like that!
Me too Sweetie.
My Name is Noah and i keep a pack of every breed just in case...That Dude is nuts in a positive sense.
Mr Anderson is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced person when it comes to dogs. It is also a pleasure to listen to him.
Thank you for your above segment, very well done. Also thanks very much to Rohana and Fr. Avedis for their incredible work preserving and promoting the recognition of the Armenian Gamprs. I have one, Lala and I know first hand how awesome the breed is!
i love the way he stays honest
I love this guy and how he is with his dogs
love this breed. as always this channel is always informative and considerate of every other breed and understand each breed
Beautiful dogs!
This guy has a lot of interesting breeds of dogs.
Yes he does!
yes, interesting that he is so much into various shepherd breeds of dogs
Great Video Brad. Thank you for the insight to this wonderful breed of Dog.
I had a Belgian Malinois Shepherd female dog who had had a litter with a German Shepherd and Gampr male. The puppy also had big ,
60/70 kg. it had the same characteristics as the Gampr, same head ..
dogs who want to learn all the time. They are adorable. It's a great experience.
Amazing strong and faithful dog!
I watch your videos could you make a video about armenian gampr
Brad, you are the man first and foremost! This particular Gampr is so gorgeous it blows the mind. If I could find one this good looking I'd buy livestock just to give it something to do and just love on it because it is such a beautiful dog.
Thank you so much for this upload for the host and everyone involved, thank so much very appreciate.
I never knew this breed existed. Thank you Zeke.
Charlie And Lola and Hazel too! Never heard of this breed ever
Lil Swampy I know right, I want to learn all the dog breeds in the world. It looks like I still have lots more to go
Be careful! This all started with me thinking "I want to know about all these rare breeds" and now look at me. hehehe
Great job brother. Very good video. I totally agree with you about the dogs having a bit of suspicion when it comes to humans. I like all of my dogs to be somewhat aloof and suspicious of strangers. I also don't want dogs that run away. All of my dogs obey and stay and I will not own any dog that isn't obedient and loyal enough to always stay with it's human. Thanks for the videos.
Gampr is one of the oldest dog breeds in the world
Excellent video and channel! I'd never heard of the Gampr before seeing this video. Impressive breed and thanks for sharing. It's interesting and educational for some of us who would never get to see these types of breeds without this channel and people like Brad. Keep posting!
This man seems quite cultured thanks to his love of dogs
Wow what a beauty
Brad Anderson you remind me a lot of myself in terms of your interest in dogs. In high school i would literally read dog encyclopedias front to back. I've always felt drawn to the primitive breeds and breeds with deep history.
Wow! This is the first time I've ever heard of this breed.
I am really intrigued by landrace dogs, especially Eastern European, Southern African and East Asian landraces.
Would be great to see more videos on these
all these rare breeds, awesome job
I might have to pay this guy a visit. Thank you Zeke.
Nice segment, would like more footage of the dog even though it is a pet on a leash, Such a beauty. Really amazing to watch any LGD when they are working, I was in Amherst Ma when Maremas were first brought to US and watched them (from a distance) at work .
Beautiful Creatures there mate
This guy seems like a real good breeder.
The Armenian dogs have the virility and knowledge of their ancestral owners, knowing not to trust anyone they meet immediately.
Wow beautiful dog
Also, this is a very well made and very informative and wonderful video. Thank you for sharing this information with the world. Thank you, Brad
Good looking dog. Seems like a nice breed. :)
Very nice :) because of them being livestock guardians, they are very very close to everyone in the family, including the small kids :)
Very nice :) because of them being livestock guardians, they are very very close to everyone in the family, including the small kids :)
Very interesting observations about the differences between the kangal and the Gampr type dogs...especially the higher waryness towards humans.
I own a central asian otvharka, and I see the same traits as you describe when compared to my friends kangal dog.
My dog is much more watchful and wary of humans, and he will react with high defence against a human, that he deems to be suspicious.
Which can definatly be a challenge on walk in an urban area.
Even though he is very socialized and used to the urban environment, he is always on guard, and can react at any moment!
So I really don't recommend this breed for city dwellers, unless you really know what you are doing...and preferably have a muzzle.
Otherwise fantastic fascinating dogs.
Kind of like the royalty of dogs...as you feel priviledged to be accepted as the owner of them.
Michael and Tash,(my dog)
:)
How many different breeds does this guy keep? God damn!
and how can he focus on them so many dogs?
got a bit greedy i think :)
yet i can picture myself hangin out with so many dogs... :)
WILD THINGS I was just about to post the same question before I read this
lol
I'm lucky enough to work from home full time, as does my wife.
Brad Anderson how many dogs and breed do you have?? its amazing
WILD THINGS I know right, he has all these vids,where he's talking about all these dogs.
Exelant dogs!
This breed and central Asian shepherd are amazing.
This is exactly why I placed my bets on the Gampr! My anatolians LOVE strangers. They are amazing guardians but love every single human and it drives me crazy! I'm the proud owner of one of Nora's grandsons. he does NOT love every human thankfully. I'm anxious to see how this boy will turn out. Great video!
I’ve only recently gotten a kangal and I can see what he means about them running away. We got him at 1 year old and didnt know what breed he was but every time we walked him, he ran off. He comes back every time though (so far XD)
Brad is awesome
Спасибо Брэд!
Impressive animal
I like it the structure the coat beautiful dog
Good presentation,good info
When I saw this pop up, I was like "It's Brad again!"
Hello. Very nice dog. Thank u.
Love the Godzilla shirt!!
I love LGDs. Would love a CaO or Great Pyrenees. Gamprs look great too
I just saw the Gampr for the first time in my life tonight. Something really distinct & unique about the one I saw. The ears are also very interesting. This video just peaked my curiousity about different lesser known breeds of dogs through out the world and their purposes. Great video as well. Never really thought about dogs in this light as well.
Brad wears the coolest shirts!
In regards to your comments on The Kangal. There are several different types of LGDS in my experience. Inside the flock dogs that remain IN THE FLOCK , perimeter dogs that work the EDGES OF THE FLOCK, within a quarter mile or so, and your roamers and rangers that actively pursue and displace predators ONE TO FIVE MILES around the flock depending on terrain and the predator density. Kangals are very well known as roamers and rangers, actively displacing predators around your flock. In open range work all types are needed to complete the team. Here in America, we are infants in the LGD timeline. The vast majority of the dogs work in very small areas, often fenced in, in close proximity to neighbors livestock or dogs, and there are conflicts. Most in my opinion are caused by ignorance of what specific dogs are bred for and the characteristics of the breed. Are there exceptions in every breed? Yes certainly. You may find a Kangal as a natural, inside the flock LGD, but in general it isn't likely. A Great Pyrenees may become a roamer ranger type with a wide patrol area, but again from my experience it isn't likely. Many of the LGD'S imported into the USA are from land race breeds thousands of years old bred by nomadic sheep cultures working on open range with the flock migrating throughout the season on a daily basis. To take the same dog breed and expect it to stay in an extremely small area comparitively speaking, guarding poultry, a few sheep or goats, in a fixed place, is an unrealistic expectation of many LGD breeds. I encourage people considering the purchase and use of an LGD to research the breeds as much as possible before making decisions. Consider your environment and what type of dog is suitable. LGD'S are bred to be canine agressive to varying degrees as the PRIMARY PREDATORS ARE CANINES. What are you doing with a Kangal, or Gampr or many other land race breeds in an environment with the neighbors dog running onto your property or vice versa. Dogs will be damaged, people will threaten to shoot your dogs, you may end up in a law suit. These breeds are not genetically coded to be put in a pen or enclosure and remain there. They will get out, they will find a way. If you want a barnyard or small homestead LGD that remains in a small area purchase the appropriate breed for the purpose. Visit and SPEND TIME observing the parents in the working environment. Visit prior off spring from the pair if possible, and learn how the dogs behave and work. You will save yourself a lot of trouble.
Can these dogs drive cars?
Great video. Thank you. The Van cat is also Armenian. Van is Armenian. The Armenian Apricot is also Armenian. Charles Aznavour. Ararat scene Charles Aznavour.
Allah is Armenian
Man! I salute you brother! you're on a role with these rare working dogs. I heard stories that this dog was mixed with wolves to achieve athleticism and bite force power. They do have some wolf characteristics. BTW this breed has a phenomenal feature of being able to fight and when he has to walk away, they will. They don't fight to the death unless they have to. They let these dogs run wild at night to protect the land.
Stunning female dog i have to say, know em from pics and stories but never saw em on video. Really stunning dog :-).
Great Dog.. great video.. thanks😍♥️
Pretty.
I have a Kangal male just 2 years old. Have had him since he was 6 weeks old. He’s really protective. He doesn’t like strangers-adults and kids. Nor other dogs. His “circle” is very very small. There only 1 guy where I live whom he likes. He’s known the guy since he was younger.
lol .... what a shocker.... Brad again lol. awesome
Brad basically has my dream life
Amazing Review !!!
we had a dog called a Marema. she barked all the time. we found her a good sheepherding home.
Great video! Can you eventually do a video on the Korean Jindo?
Very interesting breed looks almost identical to a kangal with a few small differences
Hi, I really liked your video, what an amazing dog, I could also talk about the molossus dog of Epirus.
nice
I have had many live stock guardians. My heart is for the Central Asian Shepherd. The Gampr were very smart and sneaky.
thank you for this video brad this dog is our national pride i'm from armenia and i have my boy too
Nice
My Kangal will attack anyone that isn't me, but I didn't have him for his first 3 years. Brad is right, they can get out of anything. Mine opens windows that slide upwards, he turns door locks and hits door handles with his paws, but once he's in the yard he walks the perimeter and barks like crazy at anything that approaches.
Sounds like he needs more space and a job. He's bored.
That's a liability.
I would love one
This breed is amazing! After watching this documentary I have such a better understanding of the human suspicion trait. Unlike other lgd I have had in the past regardless how many times my Gampr is exposed to an "outsider" she remains vigilant.
My female Gampr is almost 2 yrs old and just developed a very bad chewing issue, including on me? How do I correct this being careful not to break her spirit?
They are extremely aggressive dogs loyal to only one owner but they do theyre job to perfection
this dude has'em all XD
Great content. U know yr dogs lol. Im armenian and i used to have one when i was a kid in armenian and here in US my friend has two.
it is.... the Tibetan mastiff also goes into a open field to bark and announce to the predators outside thats hes up and ready to fight.
I want a Gampr sooooo bad
If you're in LA, there is a gampr at the Palmdale Animal Shelter right now named BOSTON. If no one adopts him, he will be killed
I have a gampr it's name is Max LOVE ARMENIA
Brad Anderson - Hello Brad, I would like to acknowledge that you are well versed and experienced with many of the breeds you have. I thank Dogumentary and you for taking the time to express your experiences and thoughts on these uncommon breeds. Brad, what is your opinion on gameness with Livestock Guardians as it relates to Wolves. I have a general understanding that both dogs and wolves would avoid engagement if possible, but if they meet......???This questions goes along the line of gameness/drive to where these breeds dont have the drive to kill another dog, and is the reason why they are not championed as fighting dogs, compared to other breeds. "I do not promote or agree with dog fighting by any means, nor do I want to compare these breeds with traditional dogs used for fighting, commonly in the US."!!! But if these breeds come to contact with wolves, would their drive change in actual combat? Because wolves aren't fighters, they are killers!! So how would a low drive dog succeed in deterring wolves outside of drawing attention to the human? (my opinion on wolves is not scientifically proven, but it is MY assumption.) Thank you for your time in advanced.
LGD are defensively driven. Not fight driven or prey drive driven…
Would like to see one on the Spanish Mastiff (Mastin Español) livestock guardian dog. Thanks for the good stuff.
Done it again, fab job. Come on Brad get that TM in the mix
Cool video bro, I didn't even know my country had a breed. By the way one of your females named "Sirun" means beautiful in Armenian, it's pronounced See-roon, with a soft r followed by the "oo" sound instead of the "uh" sound. Greetings from Texas :)
Sirun does mean beautiful, but he meant the name Siran axper jan.
Very strong dog, I have a male GAMPR, he protect super anywhere, anyone. 😁💪🇦🇲
I have a gampr she is 1 year old and super cute
We just got a Gampr puppy but he plays really aggressive. Please help us with some tips. He is almost 4 months.
Hey Brad I know I'm late how do the lgd's and livestock coexist with your other dogs that have more prey drive?
My friend has one currently weighing a little over 220lbs
