• The Ovcharkas - What Are They? The Ovcharkas are powerful dogs of large or giant size. The Caucasian and Central Asian Ovcharkas are ancient breeds belonging to the Asiatic type of dogs akin to the Tibetan Mastiff. Both breeds were originally bred by the shepherds for the protection of their livestock against large predators, such as wolves and leopards. • Troika Ovcharka International Troika - which means threesome, as a symbol for the 3 Ovcharka breeds - was formed in 1998 with the purpose to inform people and exchange information about the Southrussian (SRO), Central Asian (CAO) and Caucasian Ovcharka (CO). |
