caucasian shepherd dog

Brotherbear Acres is a family homestead in Northern Michigan. The name is due to a beloved dog named Kuya, which means “big brother” in Tagalog. It is a fitting nom de guerre for a Caucasian Ovcharka, big and bear-like in stature. Caucasian Ovcharkas (CO’s) go by various names: Caucasian Shepherd, Caucasian Mountain Dog, Russian Bear Dog, and many more. One thing definitive about this breed is its ability to protect their family at all costs. Kuya, Kai, Mila, Hadouken, Chance, Darla, and Bree. These dogs make up an extraordinary pack at Brotherbear Acres. Their job? Working on the farm to guard the livestock and their treasured little humans who work alongside them. This incredible pack work together using their unique, individual traits to their advantage. The Pack The leader of the pack, Kuya, is pure strength. His mature age doesn’t hold him back and he is in top shape, as active and agile as the rest. With experience and honed skills, he can sense if there’s immediate danger. When protecting his territory from potential threats, Kuya will not hesitate. Kuya takes the time to influence Kai, second in command. Kai was born wise and gentle, he is an exceptional guardian of the flock. There’s mutual respect in their bond and they make a remarkable team. Kai, the Caucasian Shepherd Mila is focused and first to alert the pack of possible threats, always on the lookout with her keen sense of hearing and smell. Mila will pursue and chase away loitering predators confidently with Darla tracking her moves, ready as swift back up. Darla’s unrivaled speed can get her where she’s needed in record time. A solid member of this pack who could challenge Darla in a race would be Chance. He is a powerhouse and can cover great distances in little time. Chance’s other superpower is his ability to win over anyone with his big heart. He's a steadfast guardian, loyalty engraved in his bones.

Hadouken has a striking look to him and you can immediately tell that he’s quite a serious dog, poised and committed in doing his job well. His temperament compliments Bree who is calm and maternal. Bree is commonly found near the children, devotedly keeping them company and out of harm’s way.
