BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY:
The Caucasian Shepherd Dog (CSD) is considered to be the breed taking its origin from ancient Caucasian dogs. The breed’s expansion covers territories from the Caucasian Range and the steppe regions of Southern Russia. The evolution of the breed was not only a result of natural selection but also influenced by nations that inhabited the Caucasian Region. Historically Caucasian Shepherd dogs were used for guarding and safe-keeping of herds, flocks and dwellings from beasts of prey and predators. The first mention of a large molossoid dogs used by the army of Armenian Tsar Tigran the II dates from the 1 st century BC. Selection work with the breed started in the USSR in the 1920s. Obligatory qualities such as physical power, self-confidence, fearlessness, sharply developed hearing, good sight, and a dense and waterproof coat have been cultivated in the process of selection. All these qualities as well as endurance allows people to use the Caucasian Shepherd Dogs in all kinds of climatic condition including the most severe ones.
历史沿革：
高加索牧羊犬一般被认为源自于古代高加索犬。该犬种遍布俄罗斯南部的高加索山脉和草原地区。该犬种的进化不仅是自然选择的结果，也受到居住在高加索地区的民族的人为影响。历史上的高加索牧羊犬被用作护卫犬，保护牲畜、居民及房屋免受食肉动物的伤害和破坏。最早关于这种大型獒犬的记载可以追溯到公元前1世纪，当时的亚美尼亚沙皇季格兰二世在其军队中使用了该犬种。该犬种的选育始于20世纪20年代的前苏联。该犬种的必备品质，如体力充沛、自信、无畏、听觉发达、视力良好及毛质浓密防水，都在选育过程中得到了很好的培育。所有这些品质加上超强的忍耐力，都使得高加索牧羊犬能在任何气候条件甚至最恶劣气候环境下工作。
GENERAL APPEARANCE:
The Caucasian Shepherd Dog is a harmonious built, large, strong dog with plenty of bone and powerful muscular system; of a slight rectangular format. Sexual dimorphism is well pronounced. Males are masculine, with well developed withers and a bigger head in comparison with females. They are also more massive, bigger and often shorter in body than females. In dogs with longer coat-variety males have a distinctly pronounced mane.
