Origin |
This breed was created by Moscow dog
fanciers who wanted a large, strong watchdog that would be more receptive
to taking and following orders. After World War II, breeders began
with Caucasian Ovtcharka, which gave
it great watch and assertive traits such as wariness and ferocity, and the
Saint Bernard to increase the size and strength
and a more gentle temperament. As a result, the Moscow Watchdog,
possesses the mental and physical attributes desired. No dogs are known
outside Eastern Europe, where they are quite popular. |
