Summary
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.
About Auvergne Pointer (Braque d'Auvergne)
Medium French pointing dog with black‑and‑white “ink splash” coat, calm yet athletic. Sensitive, affectionate and people‑oriented, it bonds closely with its family. A versatile hunter needing 1.5–2 hours of daily activity, it is rare outside France but valued for its rustic, working character.
