Short description

The Georgian Mountain Dog protects flocks and farms from two- and four-legged thieves. He has a very distinct protective instinct, subsequently he needs good socialization and a firm training. He is not suitable for city-life and beginners. He prefers the outdoors and would need a big but fenced garden.
