Getting A Caucasian Ovcharka: 5 Reasons To Get One
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 08. 2019
- In this video we discuss five reasons Caucasian Ovcharkas are wonderful pets! If this is your first time watching our channel, check out the other two videos about getting a Caucasian Ovcharka before watching this one. There are so many reasons to get a Caucasian Ovcharkas, but here are just a few! These dogs are extremely protective and loyal to their owners. In addition, Caucasian Ovcharkas are intelligent dogs. They pick up on commands quickly, and with the right owner, can be very well-trained and well-behaved dogs. Even though they are most known for their protective instincts, most of the time these dogs have a very calm temperament. Tyr is very content just lying around the house for most of the day. Lastly, Caucasian Ovcharkas are extremely affectionate for those they deem part of their "flock." That means they will be very attached to certain people, other pets, and anyone they believe they must protect. There are so many reas
Great videos you're making and thank you for being one of the very very few CZcams accounts that displays the family life side of this dog breed. Keep up the good work and I am very interested in future videos when Týr has become a big boy and what that all brings about!
Thank you... now for him to be a family dog, we socialize the heck out of him. Every chance we get, he interacts with people and we make it a point to have him around people he will most likely see in the future.
Hey. Just want you to know I really appreciated this comment. Thank you (týr's owner in case u didn't know)
One thing you should definitely know is you absolutely cannot just let random people into your house without introducing them or putting your CO safely away.
Looking forward to more Tyr content! I know he’s bringing you and your family so much joy and keeping you safe!
Adorable!!! 💗💗💗
Thank you. You tyr friend. Tyr like emily!
I have akitas and grtown up whit am akita and CA . I LOVE theese breeds
hey everybody. just want to be 100% clear. this video is for people who have watched our other two "five things" videos. those two videos put owning an ovcharka into perspective. this video assumes you have seen the other two videos and know what raising, feeding, and training one of these beautiful dogs, takes!!!
Thanks Joe!!
I always enjoy your "five things" videos. You asked for suggestions for videos. I would be interested learning more about how you go about training Tyr, what commands he knows...or is working on...that sort of thing. Just a thought.
Sounds good... He tries to make you happy. Training him is pretty easy. Have food, will follow.
Very well explained! I read something in the comments that I really liked: you guys are about the only ones out there showing the real thing, not the stupid, half crazy stuff with COs bitting and being aggressive. Thank you for being so honest.
Thanks! That is one of the reasons we created this channel. COs can be aggressive, but in reality if they are trained right, they are just big babies.
Thank you. That was one of the big reasons we started this channel. Most of the other channels that talked about these guys just showed the mean aggressive dog that only showed how mean they can be. I'll be the first to admit. It is easy to make one of these guys aggressive. It takes a lot of work to make them a family dog but of you put in that work, you will have one of the best family dogs ever!
Apparently my wife was replying on her computer at the same time. Haha
I would encourage you to have Tyr in the video next to you when you are speaking sort of how Jason Corey does with his Cane Corso. It would likely increase your viewership.
Awesome, thanks - been bing-watching Tyr-videos today :-) And have seen those other 2 videos. I knew a couple of Ovcharkas back in Switzerland, owned by neighbouring farmers. Amazing dogs, but contrary to the Great Pyrenees also present on the farm, the Ovcharkas would have this aura of "don't touch me, stranger!" about them, and position themselves between the farm house and the public road that led through the farm. Have an Estrela Mountain Dog now, living in Portugal, and it's amazing how similar their traits are - they even look similar, that is, if you imagine a super-slimline Ovcharka. You're doing a great job, man, thanks for sharing your journey with Tyr!
We are about to move from NYC to rural Vermont (yay finally) and are looking to get a Ovcharka- your channel really helps us learn about the breed.
Glad to see someone actually documenting the behaviour of an ovcharka. All you said is exactly how my 10month old was when he was that age. Especially the part where the family is separated in the house he will find a spot to oversee everyone. Mine even gets a bit agitated (nothing mean , he just keeps running between everyone he considers as part of the flock, to be able to see them).
thanks. i think a lot of the issue come from what people see about them on youtube. he sleeps at the foot of my bed and if me or my wife get up for whatever reason, he whines until we come back. these guys are 100% loyal to their people
Very cute puppy!
Tyr is lovely. They really are a beautiful dog. 85 pounds at 4 months? That's incredible. They are fantastic guard dogs Look forward to getting one in the not too distant future. Appreciate the info, you know your stuff. Best of luck with Tyr.
Thanks. Best of luck to you too!. He turned 8 months old today and is 152lbs. So yeah. They get huge fast!
Great video. Gorgeous breed standard. I would like to know about how this breed is with other small dogs & children that live in the home.
Ok, did he dubble in size since last time?
It sure feels like it. He is finally getting to the point where I can but don't want to pick him up... He's just so heavy... lol
My Ovcharka is fearless. We had a wolf pack venture on my land and he totally eviserated a wolf while being bitten on the leg by another wold. Fortunately, I got one more down with my 9MM while Rooster was engaged. He really protects my property and me. When one wolf swung at me, Rooster tackled that SOB and maybe saved my life. He is a wonderful companion, but in combat, whatch out.
Fearless indeed...my boy would happily give his life for me and he's not afraid of any human or animal despite his seemingly calm and friendly demeanor.
@@iess2006 His hind leg took over 6 months to heal properly, but he never complained. We t on about his work all the time, I know in pain. But he was so focused on viciously tearing apart one that he didn't even seem to notice that he was being attacked from behind. I had not more wolves sighted in four years now.
@@kennethterrell7409 They are indeed fiercely proud and stoic, like the warriors from 300. Rooster is a great name :) he ain't gonna die...Alice in Chains
nice to see you westerners doin it right :) an advice, keep in mind that these breed is in fact modern, it has been made by soviet military from original ovcharka to be more trainable. in field they are much more autonomous. dont overtrain em, if you treat em like an german shepard you may end in breaking dog
I want one so badly but I think I need more time to prepare for a animal like a CO. But I’m still pretty young so I got a few more years.
A good thing to know would be to know how to get one...
I wood like to get a Caucasian dog! I love the bread!
I just put in a application for a Caucasian sheepdog.
I’d love to get in touch with you and speak personally about them I’ve been hunting for a new guy and they seem to be a great match but would love some clarity and it’s always better to ask a pet parent instead of a possible breeder in my experience:/ lol thanks so so much for making these videos I live them
Please do... best way is to email tyrtheovcharka@gmail.com
I imported my boy and girl from Russia I love them!!!!
Týr is one generation removed. His parents both came from Russia. Love this breed. Will never have a different breed of dog!
I got here after researching about these dogs. Our city mayor has an a dog like this 😊
Well thanks for watching. There is a lot of bad info about them online. They are sweet babies until they aren't supposed to be sweet anymore. Lol. Obviously I don't know your mayor's politics, but the mayor has good taste in dogs. It's why I could never be president. Can you imagine an American president with a Russian dog? Lol.
@@tyrtheovcharka9771 yeah his a great mayor, he could run for president of he wants after all he is the mayor of the capital of our country. I think ovcharka is a great dog for him since it's smart and can detect people with bad intentions 😊
who is the best Breeders to buy one from
Where did you get your puppy in Georgia?
Another thing: his starting the “hairdo” thing hahahahaha
Yeah he is getting so fluffy and wild hair. I can't wait until winter when he has his full fluffy coat on!!
Tyr The Ovcharka poor baby, he looks like he’s wearing a headdress. My guy looked exactly the same.
lol its like three times as long as all his other hair... so shaggy!
how goes the great dane training?
Tyr The Ovcharka no great challenge. She’s quite crazy and playful but also very sweet. In a week she was “my dog”. I guess that after a CO, all dogs are easy. The wonderful thing is how patient my CO is with her. He tolerates all her craziness and even plays a bit with her. But I’m in a new, more difficult challenge: my neighbours got a miniature Teckel (I think in America is called a Daschund), a female, and I take care of her until mid afternoon. The thing is, Josie the Great Dane hates the little dog, Vita (also belongs to my neighbours but she’s my CO bestie) doesn’t care much for her too and the little midget screams like a banshee. My CO kills mouses and birds, I’m afraid of what he will do sensing that “his” girls don’t like the little thing. He’s great with my cats, but I’m still wondering what to do. 😊
I hawe 3 2 boy 1 girl best dogs big ❤❤❤
Fan of your channel. If I want to get a female or male, where can I buy it. I live in Panama and here there are no such copies, I would like to know how I do to obtain or buy one, and how they reproduce. Thank you.
hey. thanks for being a fan. i got tyr from scotts caucasian shepherds. there is a link in the first "5 reasons" video. The dog can always be flown to you and you pick it up from the airport. if you are not in a hurry, we are going to be getting a female and having some puppies sometime soon. as far as how they reproduce.... just like most any other mammal out there.. little sex, little time, little puppies all over the place. hope that helps ;-)
@@tyrtheovcharka9771 Well, at the moment I am not in a hurry, I showed this pet to my wife and she loved it, so I am knowing more about this species since I would be interested in acquiring one or two, so as not to lose the lineage and the species, since in my There is no country in this race and I don't know later how to maintain its species. This is my contact: imandrescaballero@gmail.com or +507 6209 6538, to be aware of the litter. Thank you very much for answering my message. I follow your videos, very beautiful your dogs.
got it! ill keep you updated with everything. let you know if and when we have puppies!!
AND!!! THANK YOU!!!
Too hot in Panama for this breed.....this is a mountain dog. Get a boerboel or cane corso.
how is it this huge??? my CO is 4 months 2 weeks and its just 45lb....:-(,.......what's the secret??
I LOVE these dogs and want one of my own but I'm curious what are the downfalls or common issues with the Caucasian Ovcharka
I cover that more in the first two "5 things" videos. In a nut shell, if you don't let them know you're in charge, they will assume they are and if you don't properly socialize them, their protective nature can easily become aggressive in so much as they will protect you from everything and everyone
Watch the video. He is mostly point on. I work every hour of every day making sure that Rooster understands who is boss here. They are headstrong and big. I still tackle Rooster every day until he cries; just so he knows I am Alpha Boss. Utherwise, you have a BIG problem on you hands. With me and Rooster, we have a loving and healthy relationship. But it is a love based on respect, not just feeding. Be aware before you enter into this caretaking/pet relationship and you will thoroughly enjoy it.
With such a thick coat- what do you do since you cant really shave him? What happens during the summer season?
Brushing. Lots and lots of brushing. And he basically says inside 24/7.
Hey I am planning on getting a Caucasian ovechakra but where do I get one at and do I half to plan ahead and let the breeder know that I want one?
Watch the video getting an ovcharka, 5 things to know. In the description I put a link to Scott's Caucasian shepherds. He's great. It's where I got Týr. If he isn't in your area or dosent have a litter when you want, he knows different breeders around the country.
Bruno is greeting from Germany. 16 weeks and 57 pounds. Apparently I am rather light-weighted compared to Tyr
Týr is massive. I don't know where it came from. Lol. Apparently he is already about 25% bigger than his dad at the same age. Trust me, Bruno will be huge before you know it. You will be wondering where your bed or couch went....
Týr is getting close to 200lbs. His vet says his body size is good for that weight. I can't imagine growing that fast that quick.
My bed is my garden and my couch is the driveway. I stay outside and love it that way. I have 10 brothers and Sisters spreaded around all over Germany. Hardly anyone knows about my breed and heritage. Lets keep in touch
What do you know about the stranger aggression they have, especially as they age?
After they get about a year old (maybe younger if they are around a female in heat) they kinda reach a point where they are full on the number of people in their life. The "aggression" in my opinion is just protective behavior that hasn't been tempered with socialization. If you properly socialize, you can lessen (not eliminate) the strong reaction they have to strangers. We use the same words every time tyr meets someone. "Tyr that's friend" and this helps when he meets new people as he gets older. He will go into a protective behavior. Then I'll say týr that's friend and he will relax a little. Of course introducing an older dog to people is a whole other process.
The biggest thing I can say is that yes, at about a year old, their protective nature can easily become aggressive if not properly socialised. All of this is of course dependent on how they see their owner. Do they trust their owners judgement that someone is a friend? If not, most likely, the owner isn't the one in charge anyways. Hope that helps. I have a tendency to ramble.
Is this your first CO? What is your previous experience with dogs?
first co but i have had almost every other large/giant breed dog out there. gsd, great pyranees, st bernard, great dane, chow chow. ive also rehabed many animals that have been abused and got them back to a point where they could be in normal homes. always been an animal person. if there is an animal that is aggressive and "no one can handle", ill be playing with them on the ground in about 10 minutes. they have always seemed to feel comfortable with me. we currently have 8 animals
i have area vets who call me when they get an animal in that cannot be handled. i can almost always work with them and get them back to a point where they can be handeled. probably 40-50 animals by now
while this is the first co i have owned. i researched this breed for almost 5 years before i got one. of course i still talk to other owners for advice on things.
joe (tyr's owner) is excellent with large animals. every animal he has ever owned has been one of the best behaved dogs ive ever been around.
Would this breed be okay as a family dog with 2 toddlers in the home?
My COs love all children, buy I'd not recommend toddlers in the same house as they are so big and really need to live outside imo. I actually think it's cruel to keep this dog inside.
You said your dogs vet is Dr Revel? I think my mom transcribes her dictations lol
Where do you find these dogs
I looked for a long time to find a breeder in America that was responsible and I felt comfortable buying from. There are three that I found. One in Vegas. One in Ohio. And one in Atlanta, GA. I got Týr in Atlanta at Scott's Caucasian shepherds. If you look at the first "5 things" video, there is a link to the site. Eric Scott is an awesome guy. We have been friends now for about a year and a half and he knows his stuff. The proof is in the dogs. Týr is an amazing ovcharka. It's 1130pm and he's asleep on my feet. Best dog ever... I put a lot of work into him but Eric gave me good stock to start with.
Tyr looks amazing, props to the breeder. I bought mine from EST ALPHA in LV NV and they turned out great. I am not affiliated in any way. Do not get an alpha when buying ur 1st CO.
What’s his weight and now?
He just turned a year old about a month ago and was 188lbs last time we weighted him.
