In 2015 we bought our first Russian Mountain Dog - Queen of Sheba.
Our Sheba was beautiful - fluffy, sweet, cuddly, a constant companion, and huge.
At 115 pounds grown, our female was the beginning of our love affair with these dogs.
We are now the owners of three of these large fur babies (and we just had our first puppy a litter): Sheba; a full grown breeding male, Solomon; and Samson, our teenage male who is still our blue eyed puppy at well over 130 pounds.
The choice to breed came from how amazing these dogs are. The breed is known for their loyalty, size, and that they are suited to cold weather climates!
We didn't know Caucasians were water dogs until Sheba decided to make the river along our property her second home - even in the dead of winter. Now all 3 go for icy baths!
This breed is fun and playful, and because of their size, their antics are all the more endearing.
Russian Caucasians are a rare breed, and we are one of only 4 certified breeders in the United State.
Meet Our Russian Caucasian Mountain Dogs
Queen of Sheba:
Our first dog of the breed, Sheba is a traditional Grizzle color (grey, black, and white). At 3 (in 2018) she gave birth to her first litter - 9 live puppies.
Sheba is a medium sized Russian Caucasian Ovcharka - about 115 pounds normally. She loves the water, and thinks that our bed should belong to her as well. She isn’t fond of sharing it with the other dogs.
King Solomon:
Solomon is Fawn colored Russian Ovcharka (tan and black with a small amount of white) with brindle markings. At 2 years (2018) he sired his first litter with Sheba.
He is an AKC registered stud and is also available for stud service and AI breeding.
Our full grown, 170 pound lap dog is sweet tempered and very well trained, even around large crowds and other animals. When he was just a year, we took him to Costa Rica with us, on a plane!
He liked chasing sand crabs and really loved swimming in the ocean!
Samson:
Samson is Blue with grey brindle markings - Blue is a rare coloring for Russian Mountain Dogs which consists of light grays with white accents and steel blue eyes.
He is 1 year (2018) and is still our puppy. Samson and Solomon are full brothers, with the same AKC registered parents, and are 1 year apart in age. And boy do they act like brothers... take a look through the photos to see the beautiful candid shots of these two playing, cuddling, and wrestling with each other.
Samson is still growing and still acts like a puppy. His favorite toys are his stuffed giraffes, one is never very far away!
Russian Caucasian Mountain Dogs are truly the most loyal and protective dogs. Undeterred stock and property protectors that are fantastic in adverse weather conditions, they are . Their size and nature makes them desirable as home guard dogs, especially since the breed is known for its loyalty to family and gentleness with its owners.
