Though they love to lounge around and will try to be your 170-pound lap dog when at home, a Caucasian shepherd requires a fair amount of regular exercise. It should include good long walks and play in a fenced yard (if you have one)
The thick coat should be brushed twice a week to remove loose or dead hairs and prevent matting.
Caucasian Shepherd Dogs go through a heavy shed once a year.
