Summary
About American Hairless Terrier
Small, lively terrier available in hairless and coated forms, usually 25–46 cm and 5–12 kg. Very people-focused, indoor-oriented, and low-shedding, often suiting allergy-prone owners. Needs moderate daily exercise, mental stimulation, skin protection, and consistent, positive training.
About Caucasian Shepherd Dog
Large, powerful livestock guardian from the Caucasus, bred to protect flocks and property. Big, heavily coated, weatherproof dog, deeply loyal to its family but wary and territorial with strangers. Independent, strong‑willed, needs experienced handling, early training, space and secure fencing.
