I have met these dogs similar to polar bears many years ago. Then, as however and today, this breed was small also we very seldom had an opportunity to see them on show. There can be it descended because SRO has independent character and many owners were not able or did not want to work with dogs how it is required for such strong, clever and very independent dog.

SRO is not toy Teddy bear; it is a serious dog with extraordinary interesting behavior. But, to learn to SRO's soul, it is necessary enter to his trust. Probably therefore I so love this breed.

The care of their perfect long wool is simple, but demands patience and work.

If all this you have - I congratulate, you can have the friend, partner, bodyguard, show dog and all this in one person. SRO never ceases to surprise.

South Russian sheepdog very much trusts to the owner, this dog are very much attached to owner, to change of the owner tolerates very hardly. SRO are perfectly trained and are always glad to show to the owner on what they are capable.
