I was seriously considering getting a Caucasian Ovcharka, but after several months of research on the breed, I realized that I would not be able to keep the guy out of trouble as well as I should.

I’ve had dogs from rotties and pit/wolf crosses to a teacup chihuahua, but the above breed is likely beyond my ability to fully train correctly.

As Clint so eloquently said in Dirty Harry, “A man’s got to know his limitations.”

I can handle quite well the vast majority of dogs, but that breed is pretty much beyond my abilities.

I think you made a good choice. I've watched videos of Caucasian Ovcharkas fighting bears and wolves, or guarding the Berlin Wall while dwarfing their handlers.

Then, like you probably did, I read the disclaimers from some breeding sites. I know some have been successfully socialized, but at some point a sensible person has to think: No Caucasian Ovcharka as a family dog.

No 210-pound Bully Kuttas either. Let Pakistan keep its own version of a fighting dog.
