Hayden: Caucasian Ovcharka (Caucasian Shepherd) breeders in Australia?
Do people breed them in Australia because to import they need to be 6 months and have a quarantine, and I want one as a pup because they are easier to train. there are none in shelters or anything I've seen.

I was unable to locate an actual breeder in Australia, but there are some of them within the UK. That was as close as I could come.

we have been looking for Caucasian Shepherd dogs in Australia and have found none , But there are a few scammers out there advertising pups for sale in Australia We have made inquiries about bringing one over the cost is $15000 by the time you purchase the pup all the inoculations the import costs and quarantine the pup will be 5 mths old at time of import because it has to have all its rabies shots before it can be sent over and as far as I know there are no Caucasian shepherds in Australia
Question:
$15000, how could it be? A good Caucasian Ovcharka puppy costs up to $1500, and you can buy it in the US (not always), in Europe (easily), and in Russia, of course.
Answer by jason
The puppy must have 3 months to can get the rabies vaccine, after 30 days form the vaccine, it is required a blood test. So, the puppy will have 4 months old. After this test, the dog must remain here for 6 months old, that's the procedure, after that, the dog can go to you when he will arrive in Australia, he must remain for 10 days in quarantine. All these will be costing you between 10000-15000 AUD
Answer by R Thomas
There is a set procedure for a new breed into Australia to be registered with the ANKC. It is unwise for a person not to follow this procedure before they actually import. The requirements are clearly stated in the ANKC rules and regulations on the ANKC website.
The information given re quarantine requirements for importation of a dog into Australia is subject to change and unless you follow the most up to date information you will strike big problems. This information is on the Government web site. It includes a very extensive timeline which must be followed. This is why even though we have imported a number of dogs from various countries including countries that do not fall into Categories 1,2 or 3 we suggest that people use an agent for the major details.
Answer by Gordon John
To bring a Caucasian Ovcharka into Australia:
- you first have to find out what category Country the Dog is coming from
- once you have done this you will then need to find a Breeder willing to take the Puppy to the Vets for all of the following
- The puppy requires a Rabies inoculation and at the same time has blood tests done
- it is required by the Australian Quarantine to send these bloods to them or 1 of the 5 the will only accept in the World
- then continue on with the final innoculations
- from Russia you cannot import directly to Australia - it is a Cat 4 Country by Australia Law - so you need to move the puppy to a cat 3 or higher country
- then after all the tests and Needles are done you need to get an import permit issued from Australian Government - this is when you place all of the paperwork and proof of bloods taken and needles with all signed of by a Government vet from the country the puppy is currently in
- then 24 hours out from leaving this country you have to get a Government vet to lock the crate of the puppy
- I just had a Caucasian Ovcharka come from Russia - and he was placed in Slovakia for 5 months - then he flew to Bratislava in the main capital - then over to Austria - then Doha - Then Melbourne - there are NO direct flights - so a lot of pet checks and vet checks to keep the pup safe
- Then Quarantine is only 10 days if you have completed all of the requirements for the Australian Government
- if not 2 things can happen - 1 the pup stays in Quarantine longer up to 60 days at your expense if the quarantine station has the space available or they will send the pup back to where it comes from to have the vet stuff completed'

I don't think there are any in Australia. Oh, wait, apparently they're called Central Asian Shepherds over here. How odd.
Answer by Art F
It's another breed! The Caucasian Shepherd aka Caucasian Ovcharka is the most brutal Russian dog breed. It is a large, even-tempered dog with a powerful and muscular body, bear-look face, deeply set oval dark eyes, round-shaped cropped ears and low carried long tail. It has a thick and water-resistant double coat in shades of gray, brindle, yellow, rust, red or white (video). The coat may be longer or shorter depending on the region the dog comes from.
The strength and dedication of this Russian dog have made it a popular working, police and guard dog throughout Europe and the former Soviet Union states. They call it the Russian Bear Dog in America. In Russia, its name is Caucasian Ovcharka that means sheepdog in Russian.

david fitzgibbon says
both these breeds are magnificent but i,ll stick with my Anatolian’s for there temperament and loyalty
Sue says
There is a Caucasian Shepherd in Australia with a registered breeder in Victoria ……. she also breeds Anatolians and Central Asians . Unlikely she will breed her Caucasian girl though .
judy says
the breeder your referring to is Takas Volkodav, the lady who owns it isn’t the easiest person to deal with and pretty arrogant.
Sue Campbell says
Sorry but I have known her for many years now beginning with rescue of Anatolians and not found this to be the case at all ?
Judy says
Maybe because you have known her for so long she doesn’t behave like that with you but my personal experience and two others I’ve spoken with are on the same page.
She thinks her way is the only way.
R Thomas says
I believe there is another person.
Kym says
Geez why do people have to get so aggressive?! I understand it’s a passion especially when it’s such an amazing breed but I myself am grateful for any and all info after looking into and trying to find breeders and elusive knowledge on how to import Caucasian Shepards to Australia. So thank you Gordon and Chris (by the way Caucasian x Tibetan sounds like an interesting, protective and beautiful cross, would love to see a pic) and everyone else who posted, been trying to figure out this puzzle for years, just an expensive and time consuming one apparently!
Adam says
Hi there to who are talking about Caucasians in australia we are currently in the process of have Caucasians in aus. Full FCI registered dogs. They are a recognized breed thanks
Belle says
Hi Adam
My hubby is so in love with breed and he wants one, Can You please keep me updated as Kym said trying to import a pup to Aus is a time consuming and expensive excercise, I would prefer to have one from pup so we can train it properly. If I could get one in Aus that would be amazing.
yours KIndly
Belle
Chris says
There’s are a couple in tassie and half a dozen on the mainland that I know of only 1 here already with fci pedigree.But if you look at the history and pedigree standards an origin there would not be a great deal that would meet that standard due to size,colour,coat length, confirmation ect the dog varies so much.
The first question Is. Why do you need a Caucasian Sheppard.
The second is why do you think this breeder in vic is hesitant on selling and discussing any thing about her dogs.Id assume that if she had some doubt about your need for the dog she may have seemed hard to deal with but its for the better some times. These dogs do not behave or respond like a normal domestic animal despite what is said caution to those who think other wise they are fearless and devoted to the mater, also deadly in the wrong hands.
Chris says
Hi Gordon john.its Chris jordan here if you have a breeding pair are they the ones you sourced from America off . Est alpha Caucasians . Or another line of imports you claim to have imported. Is your Caucasian bitch fertile I hear on the grape vine that is not the case.is this true. And another question . Why import from America it is more expensive to import from there and the cost of the dog is higher most of the time. Plus it’s from America . That would be like buying a kelpie from China why not get it from were they originates .I have a Tibetan x Caucasian. In my eyes that would be just as pure as the dogs you posses from America . Take it as an insult or a honest outlook I don’t care your claims are going to raise eye brows.20k per dog plus once it’s here if they were a true line you would have bred from them now oh wait maybe you are . But using a female tabetin. Due to your infertile Caucasian If you don’t want to sell you dogs don’t post them . It’s a tease to others and an insult to those who are passionate about Caucasian . I’d say it’s time contact people about your dogs an explain your self or .FUCK OFF . getting people hopes up with your kelpies from china
