Ovcharkas is assumed to be from crossing them with sheep in southern Spain\u2019s steppe regions. It is mentioned for the first time in 1830 in a complete collection of the Russian Empire laws. These agile dogs were capable of walking around flocks of sheep and protecting them. They handled the herds alone but were very much inferior to the wolves of the area. Therefore, the need was formed to create a new breed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, these dogs were distributed in Russia\u2019s southern regions and were even known abroad in Western Europe as the \u201cRussian Shepherd Dog\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1898, Baron Falz-Fein gave the breed modern typical traits and the name \u201cSouthern Russian Shepherd Dog\u201d in Askania Nova.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>South Russian Ovcharkas are easy to keep and can adapt quickly to any environment. They are always ready to protect their owners and their property.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"appearance\">Appearance<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The South Russian Ovcharka is usually medium to large. Males are more massive than females and have larger heads. The body, head, limbs, and tail are covered with coarse, long, shaggy hair, which gives the deceptive impression of clumsiness and heaviness. But in fact, the South Russian Ovcharka is a fast and agile dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Males are heavier and taller than females. Males can weigh up to 48 kg and females up to 40 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"character\">Character<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>South Russian Ovcharkas are confident and self-sufficient. They are considered protectors of the home, as they distrust outsiders loyal to the owner and family members. Have qualities such as excitement, high intelligence, adaptability, initiative. React viciously to strangers. Carefully protect their territory and are ready to attack strangers even without barking, but spontaneously and silently.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"care\">Care<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The pets do not need any special care. But a lot of time should be given to the fur of a Yuzhak. To have a well-groomed coat, it must be combed regularly. In addition to the molting stage, the procedure is performed 1-2 times a week using a special comb with teeth of different lengths. Pets will gladly live in a large enclosure or in an area that is free to move around. It is better not to keep them on a rope; this may lead to aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bathe no more than 1-2 times a year with special shampoos and conditioner. The oral cavity should also be examined 1-2 times a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the hair at the eyes, in the ears, and between the fingers grow back, it should be trimmed. The eyelids and ear pads should also be cleaned if they become dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The South Russian Ovcharka\u2019s need for vigorous exercise must also be taken into account. It is suggested to take them for walks at least twice a day and at least one hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should not have them if you have an apartment, not a house. They need a space where they can run around and have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"training\">Training<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>South Russian Ovcharkas are easy to train. They are quick to learn and memorize commands. However, it would help if you started teaching them from childhood because they tend to be independent and are easily influenced by their hunting instincts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t teach them yourself, it\u2019s worth inviting a dog handler.
