Sex

Like other canine species, Caucasian Mountain Dogs reach sexual maturity between the ages of 6 and 12 months. However, factors like heredity, body size, and overall health may cause the actual date to differ from person to person.

Working with dogs of any breed, especially Caucasian Mountain Dogs, requires the use of responsible breeding practices to ensure the health and safety of all parties involved. Among the most important considerations are:

The standards set by official kennel clubs or breed organisations must be met by all dogs used for breeding. The regulations are there to ensure the dogs are well-adjusted social beings as well as capable workers.

Both the male and female dog's health should be evaluated before mating. Exams of this kind often include screenings for heritable conditions including hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as eyesight impairments. Only dogs who pass these evaluations should be used in breeding programs.

Dogs selected for breeding should be in excellent health and have desirable traits. It's not okay to breed dogs with negative traits like aggressiveness or severe shyness.

It is imperative that ethical breeding practices be adhered to for the sake of the dogs' future well-being. Breeding programs should prioritise just selecting for Caucasian Mountain goats. Purebred dogs are those that have been certified healthy and temperamental. Professional breeders and veterinarians will be able to provide you advice on when and where to start a family.
