This is one of my favorite breeds. I saw a few at a dog show once. I think it was an IABC show. Wonderful. The dogs were regal. But some dog did something that one of the dogs didn't like. Then all of the Caucasian responded with bad intentions for that dog. The owners calmly maintained their composure. The dogs quickly calmed down. I was very impressed. I wanted to know more about the breed. Initially I thought the owner was going to have a hard time. These dogs were going to be impossible to restrain. But they weren't. They didn't drag anyone. They responded to the calm nature of their owners or handlers. They appeared as though they were never bothered.
