Garbanskogo subtype
has a leading position in its herds. Dzhumber
smiled and said that red male spirit is stronger and stronger every
spirit, therefore, should give offspring he, rather than large and
characterless. That is, the shepherds do not interfere with natural selection. Selection aimed at survival and the concentration of the morale of dogs. When asked what qualities should embody the shepherd shepherd, he said. First, to boldly attacked the stranglehold of a bear, and even if the bear will strike shepherd, later it was not afraid. Second,
that Shepherd was not big and lazy, as very large specimens are poorly
re ¬ Stretches flocks, tired and poorly guarded the flock. When
asked how often arrive in a flock of wolves, Jumber explained that
wolves are essentially thieves, they never attack the flock is open, if
the dogs find them. They
are, in general, and no reason to risk his life for the sheep, wolves
successful hunters, and the view that the wolves are always hungry is
wrong. If the wolf is healthy, he will not dare to attack the flock, where there is a good dog. Only the sick predators are a desperate step, and usually find their death from the teeth of dogs. Bear
the same - a very strong animal feels its power and impunity, as the
shoot bears without a license can not be fine is a fabulous figure. Yes,
and bear attacks at night, often in rain, and if the wrong shot to
wound him, he will need to come to the attention of man. Shepherds do not dare to shoot the beast and repel bullets, equipped ¬ Yas, of course, more to the dogs. There were times when a flock soba ¬ ki afraid of the bear, and then over the summer beast was carrying more than 30-40 sheep. This damage was considered to be equal to what the shepherds worked to free summer season. We thanked Jumber, and until he changed his mind went back to pick up Chita. Its in Matsute, waiting kiddy. And we also now had only to wait.
Three weeks later we were taken to Chita in a nursery in the village of HMI. After another six months, she gave birth to four puppies, one male and three females. One female was born dead. A few days later we noticed a hundred ¬ that puppies do not grow all the time and peep. After we checked in Chita milk, it turned out that she had mastitis. I had to nurse pups artificially, but a bitch is still dead. Were two puppy dog ​​and a bitch. We grow them on artificial diet until months of age. Puppies grow well and have already played, but we were allowed an inexcusable mistake.
It was winter, it was cold, and we kept the puppy home. One day we left the pups alone, and thus badly closed door to another room ¬ natural numbers, where the stove was turned on. Puppies
seem to have come into the room, began to play with Compound-on tiles,
overturned it, there was a short circuit, turn on the power cord, which
is passing through ¬ dil beside the couch. Sofa was smoldering. When we return, were it was too late: puppy suffocated by the smoke. All our efforts were thwarted. Next pustovka began in Chita in eight months. We again had a kiddy with her. But the puppies were born dead. Apparently, at the age of Chita was already critical. We did not manage to get her offspring.
Later,
we learned from Jumber that dog breeders from Pyatigorsk (Stavropol
region) were acquired in Naur steppes, where the flock was in winter,
two adult sons Cheats named Bandit and lemon.

Then, Bandit was taken over by Ukraine in Dnepropetrovsk, ow. Desyaterik. Father of two dogs named Zarbazan. He also belonged to the shepherds Kazbegi.
To our delight, the use of tribal kiddy did not stop there. Soon
Taras Temirova was obtained from the kiddy litter and Alba (Fr. Komsha,
M. Koran), that females, in which he gave ¬ Gia Hulelidze.
Alba by the time the breed has grown into a bitch.
Major Shepherd, 68 cm at the withers, brindle, with a powerful, somewhat stretched to ¬ body. With a large breed of head, with good dental system. The essential disadvantage is sagging back, and several loose to ¬ and elongated fingers on the front legs.
We met often hollow back bitches. Undoubtedly, this disadvantage is the earliest sticky bitches. Not sufficient to form the skeleton could not bear the load associated with pregnancy and sag. Interestingly, this deficiency is not handed down to the puppies.

From this litter in the future, Taras Temirova were grown dog named Tiger and a female named Tina. Another male littermates named Jack, he gave to his friend. In turn, Tina was bred with a dog named Chhuba, ow. Hulelidze G., son Dzhigrino and Callie. This pair was obtained by an outstanding dog named Lachin, ow. Ktsoev George.

Komshi was subsequently cast-in line Gergeti Repeater, ow. Hutseshvili Rezo. The combination of these lines gave two distinguished by conformation and working qualities males. This
is a dog named Caro (owner Karaev Vitali), the grandson and
great-grandson of Alba Repeater and kiddy-II (owner N. Eloshvili -
Samkanashvili T.), grandson and great-grandson Repeater Alba. But these dogs are already on a temporary type ¬ Kazbek dogs.

After a while, kiddy was mated with another female named Moore (owner Vladimir Slusar). Moore was presented in ¬ Lod Kazbegi shepherds at the age of 6 years. In the seven years it has been received from the kiddy litter - two males and four females. Two puppies, male and female, were purchased Plakhuta Vitali, and another female was purchased Zavyalym Boris, Dnepropetrovsk. Moore was a medium-sized female. 63-64 cm at the withers, but despite a small increase in ¬ Scheu, she embodied the best qualities of shepherd dogs. The
evil in its territory, which is guarded, and CCT ¬ kai, she immediately
responded to every rustle pretty low barking hoarsely. Moore moved the whole night on the peri ¬ meter of the object, never staying in one place. In terms of exterior design, this shepherd embodied femininity and strength of a lioness. Intermediate-type coat, light red color, with a pedigree head, bony, Moore belonged to Gergeti subtype.

Photo Mora was made Romanovtsom Vladimir in 1982 in the village of Kazbegi region Akhaltsikhe.
The couple gave no big, but very hard-working kids. Another litter of kiddy was obtained from blood Garbanskoy bitch named Kurukh (owner Samkanashvili Tamaz). Kurukh - the daughter of famous dog named from the village of Loma Akhaltsikhe Kazbegi region (owner Pitskhelauri Zviad). Loma ancestors were brought from Azerbaijan in the mid-50s of the twentieth century, along with a flock of sheep. There were three: two males and a female. They were all red color with brown noses and brown paste (from the words of the shepherds). As the bear is weak, but they were very angry people. Dogs are not big, but very workable. These individuals are well joined in Garbansky subtype. Loma was the great grandson of the Shepherds. Loma was 9 years old when we saw him. In 1982, the month of July for the first time we visited the village of Akhaltsikhe. We were amazed at the number of dogs in this small village. Almost all were the same type ¬ HN. Red,
fawn and white color, less frequent pyatnis ¬ tye (spots of the same
variations), found in most blue-eyed, with a brown nose.
The villagers greeted us with interest and learn that we are interested in sheepdogs, are vying to tell and show their dogs. Immediately began to praise, argue among themselves, pit dogs. In all the conversations sounded nickname Loma. After asking about Loma, we learned that he is the strongest male, but already old, and we asked to see it. One of the shepherds took a stick to catch the sheep and motioned us to follow him. Passing a few houses up the northern slope of the mountain, we climbed up to the big house. Shepherd Shepherd began to call by name. Soon, the yard seemed to Shepherd. At a distance of 15-20 meters, she stopped and began to bark at us. We tried to get closer, but Shepherd has warned that it is dangerous. Indeed ¬ Indeed, when we made some steps toward Loma, as he immediately made a short shot in our direction. We were, cease ¬, shepherd called to him, and he stopped, still possesses ¬ vat us. We began to consider it.
It was an old short-haired dog of 9 years, a large, approximately 72 cm at the withers, a light red color. Bony and crepe ¬ Kai Shepherd, despite their age. Particular
attention was paid to his head: a pedigree with a broad forehead,
strong cheekbones, short, not tapering to the nose snout. Muzzle rectangles ¬ alcoholic forms. The lips are thick, brown in color with the stroke of lips. The nose is of average size, and brown. Eyes straight-set, medium sized, amber color. Ears-on sazheny at eye level. Medium-sized auricle. Good ex-wife's neck. The neck is of medium length, powerful with a strong rootstock ¬ catfish. The mane on the neck is shown. Broad, strong top. Born dock-tailed. Chest expanded, with good muscle mass. Strong legs. Strong confident movement. Girth pyas ¬ TI approximately 14-14.5 cm wide in the rear legs. Wool is thick, sticking out, began to molt.
Shepherd also explained that Loma is a very good stamina in fights with rivals. Usually, villagers tie their dogs, if any or either of bitches ¬ empty. During courtship tournaments were often cases where the Loma stifled its competitors. For five years, all females in the village covered with it. Stably transmitted to their offspring breed head, amber eyes and a brown nose, as well as anger and aggressiveness in combat. Shchen ¬ ki born from it sometimes dock-tailed. Best of breed, he gave Garbanskih bitches. Loma gave such great dogs as Tatari (owner Chabaidze Plato) and Tott (owner Chabaidze Shaliko). As well as pedigree bitches Callie, Rita (the owner Chabaidze Plato), and Kurukh (owner Samkanashvili Tamaz).
Through the village of Loma Akhaltsikhe formed a subtype of the shepherd ¬ skih dogs. Shepherds appreciate the line of Loma. Perhaps this is one of the best lines in the Kazbegi region.

Scrap the day was closed in a stable, in a cage of thick logs. When
the owners opened the barn, and we went there, then before our eyes
opened to such a map ¬: light fawn male with barking and growling eerie
put his face between the logs and bared his teeth magnificent teeth,
began to attack the breast barrier to reach us. How much anger and energy embodied his glowing eyes. They seemed to be burning through us through. The hosts were at a distance. Stunned by what he saw, we asked how they cope with it. Perhaps he is in ¬ ke cells from childhood. But our question surprised them. It turned out that the scrap produced in the street, where he was not touched, and in the flock, he works very well. Just bring it tomorrow to bitch at mating, and this led him from the flock.

All
of these dogs, we listed probably will not be able to UWI-do, were it
not for people who have dedicated their lives to favorite activity:
sheep breeding and cultivation of blood shepherd dogs. Subconsciously
aware of the inner nature of these animals, and because of that
feeling, skilfully, selecting a pair, considering all the pros and cons
in the character of shepherds, coming hard for some uncharacteristic
manifestations for this breed, they grow only users who want to work
dogs. None of the shepherd is not good to feed a dog that is lazy to work or has a weak character. None of them has staked beauty of the breed only dogs. In the first place - the spiritual power and efficiency. Everything else is secondary. Constantly working next to a shepherd, shepherd takes one of the most difficult duties: protecting the flock. During the study population Kazbek dogs, we have heard amazing stories, which seemed to us like legends. But then, when we had a free ¬ eat dog kennel otarnyh, it appeared that really work and mental capacity of these amazing dogs.
For example, in 1986 I became a witness Temirov Taras ¬ E surprising event. It happened at the beginning of the autumn rut flocks. One
morning Taras came with Gia Hulelidze, the son of a hereditary sheep
farmers, and reported on a trip to the gorge Darial to exchange three
sheep on the three shepherd dogs. I immediately expressed a desire to go with them. Along the way, I learned that Guy changes his sheep on the bitch and her two young siblings. One
of the shepherds the flock was taking Leningor area, and as in
Dagestan, a dog he had been for nothing, he agreed to swap their dogs to
the sheep. After half an hour drive through the gorge, on the road near the village of Nizhny Lars, we found the right herd. The exchange took place very quickly. The shepherd looked at the sheep and an experienced eye, calling Shepherd, put her in the trunk of our car. Along with it, he planted one eight puppies. In the second cabin was put littermates. Then we returned to the city, drove to the house, and Gia Shepherd brought into the house. Bitch Gia securely tethered in the garden, which on the one hand there was no fence: the neighbors have built a new house. When we looked at this female, it became clear that Guy has done a fair exchange. It was a pedigree bitch. She lay where she was tied, showing the outward calm. But as it turned out, this calm was deceptive. Then we parted. The
next morning came to me and said Taras that night, the female
disappeared, along with a leash, and Gia suspects in the disappearance
of us. Of course, familiarity with Gia happened recently, and his suspicion was understandable. The situation was unpleasant, and it had to be somehow solved.
We went to Gia, he greeted us with a profound apology and asking for help. It
turned out that when we wound up in the dog house on the opposite side
of the street for our actions watched a young man, who was also
attracted to this breed. In the evening he and his friends went through a bit of alcohol and, recalling the shepherd decided to look at the dog. But he did it in strange ways. He
entered the area to the adjacent construction site via Gia, and saw the
dog lying quietly tied to the fence and decided that such a good dog
decorate his home. Untie
the bitch, he led her through all the same ill-fated construction site
and decided to put her time with relatives who live nearby. Relatives of the same, knowing who owns the dog, tried to persuade her to return. But the thief decided to make their own way. He just picked up and released the dog, hoping to return to her home independently. But the dog did not know a new home or new owner.
The next day at noon he went to see Gia, she returned the dog, and apologized for his action. Gia even where such a happy outcome. It is safe to assert that there is a female in the flock from which we took it. We looked at each other with Taras and once again asked again, he believes himself to whether Guy is talking about. Otarnaya dog could not navigate the city and find the way to the flock. During the time that she sat on a leash, her flock went to a few tens of kilometers from the place where we took it. Moreover, after her flock, passed along this route for at least ten flocks. Traces trampled. But Ghia insisted, arguing that a good shepherd must find the way to the flock. If not today, then after a couple of days. It was just awkward to refuse him in search of a dog. The route was known, but it seemed to us that he gives the dog some sort of mystical powers. We
have started looking for a dog in the city, close to the garbage cans
or in neighboring houses, as it could catch in the morning. Female was seen, and everyone would like to have in an animal. But Ghia still insisted on finding a flock. We
left at noon, and by the evening of Tarski gorge on the border with
Ingushetia, on the left bank of the river Kambileevka, where the flock
stopped for the night, caught up with her. It was getting dark, and herders have settled for the rest. Towards the car, barking ran three shepherds. Imagine our surprise when we heard one of them, Palace, was the name of that bitch that lost Gia. We asked the shepherds, and know that at night the day when it was exchanged for the sheep, she went back to the flock. Palace took several hours to find her. It only remained to admire this amazing dog. No hunger, no attachment to their offspring did not stop her. The desire to work in the flock outweighed everything else in her mind. How quickly she found her flock, will remain a secret, known only by a Palace.
The more we talked with shepherd shepherd, the more amazed by the inner potential of these animals. There were dogs, who amazed us by his actions and caused deep-bokoe respect. These dogs can be attributed bitch named Callie. In 1987, the dog was given to me Slyusarev friend Vladimir. Volodya lived in the area of ​​the city, inhabited by shepherds Kazbegi. With many of them it was a good sign. He was offered a bitch that age is no longer walking with a flock, and was the home of a friend of the shepherd. It was agreed that if a dog like me, then he'll take it for me. Do not postpone it indefinitely, we went to the shepherd. Female was tethered near the barn. It was big, very bony, with a strong constitution bitch. In appearance she was six years old - seven, but as it turned out, she was much older. She was 10 years old. We asked the shepherd to show its teeth. Of
the canines were only stumps, and incisors were worn under the base,
half of them absent altogether, apparently because of numerous injuries.
We began to ask where the dog, which she bloodlines. Suk turned out to be blood Gergeti Shepherd, was the leader of the flock, which is rare. Moreover, it was a little concussion in one ear, as in his youth hit her with his paw on the head with a bear. Indeed, when Callie was listening, she bent down and sideways its large head. I spotted her in her kennel, located in the wholesale-trade basis, which is guarded by my dog. In the evening we released it in the open guard. The character Callie was very hard. She
could not stand bitches, undertaking violent fights, and among males
get along with hard those who tried to be too familiar with it. Security service she carried on conscience. All night I could hear she was doing round in the base and never stayed in one place. Even in rainy weather, Callie did not shed a long time.
In May 1987 we were offered the protection of orchards. In the village of Troitskaya (Ingushetia), it was necessary to protect gardens flatter ¬ Dew more than two hundred hectares. In the gardens we took their shepherds, including through ¬ le and Callie. Our mobile house stood in the cherry orchard. Apples did not yet ripe, as in the main class in the autumn ¬ mi. But
over a mile from our house near the highway, which came up one side of
the garden was already collecting "white filling" old varieties of
apples ripening. One
day the villagers had not time to completely take away the whole day
gathering, and at the edge of the garden there are more than 100 boxes
of apples. At night, it was necessary to put the protection there. It became dark, and one of the guards, named Sergei, was willing to podezhurit night near the mailboxes. When nearly dark, he took the shepherd, nicknamed the Turk, and left. With him gone, and Callie.

We let her go, as the thought that it would be easier with two dogs. Night falls. Cherry garden was small, and our dogs were tied around the perimeter of the garden. We were well hear their voices, and we decided to relax a bit. Became nakrapy-vat light rain. And then the night came the voice of Callie. She will return back-las. I thought, yes, a dog gets old, decided to keep himself. Usually hollow for a while, she climbed under our house otdoh-nut, then made round, and again rested. But that night, she never crawled under the house. During the night I heard her barking four or five times. By tone of voice it was clear that it simply bypasses the ter ¬ rhetoricians. At six o'clock we gathered for breakfast and washed. At that time Sergei came and went with him Kalli. I joked that Cally had met him the first to apologize for that one night, threw ¬ Nogo. Sergei did not answer, went to the table, took a great lo ¬ mot white bread and fed his dog. She loved white bread, even preferring it to meat. Sergei sat down, smoked a cigarette, and we asked him to explain what happened. He told me that last night, when he came to yaschi ¬ stone tied with apples and Turku, he was, sitting nearby, was on duty. Callie at first was near him. Then start barking to bypass the area around the boxes. After a while she stopped. He began to call her, but she did not appear. Sergei
hearth ¬ small that it started to rain, and she decided to go to the
"base", but in less than an hour, she again appeared, and then, minutes
later, 20-30 disappeared again. When she came back an hour later, he realized that the dog is guarding the two objects. This went on all night. Topics Vreme ¬ it until Sergei said, this hardworking bitch already sleeping peacefully under the house. It completed its work and could now relax. Callie has lived for 13 years, and until her last days she worked. Unfortunately, posterity has not let it. I always remember her as one of the great Shepherd.
Surprisingly, these working abilities are inherited, the shepherds are not taught shepherds how to protect the flock. If Shepherd - blood, then it her ancestors founded some genetic program behavior.
In good blood Shepherds dominate the two most powerful instinct: the instinct of procreation and protective instinct. As for the instinct of procreation, we witnessed a unique event. In
1986, when once again showed me Tamaz dogs Kazbegi region, we visited
the village to the chairman of the kolkhoz Garbani Vazhe Geladze. At the time he was the owner of one of the best sheepdogs Garbanskogo subtype dog named Beaver. Despite the fact that it was late autumn, the Beavers was at home rather than at the winter encampments. We began to ask him if Bobrov otarnuyu work? The President smiled and said that the dog has recently come from distant lands. Two months ago, a relative of the chairman asked him to give him a dog for the winter season in the flock. At
the same time in the courtyard of the chairman was still a shepherd, a
bitch that has just begun pustovka and Bobrov was busy with her. Vaja
but given his consent, and the dog was taken by car to Kochubey the
winter parking lot, but it's more than 400 km from the village Garbani. At
the winter parking lot it was put on a leash, but this morning there
was no shepherd, he got out of the collar and disappeared. ¬ ki Pois no results. A month later, when the shepherd went to Garbani, he went to the chairman to apologize for the loss of a valuable dog. His astonishment knew no bounds: Shepherd was at home! Slightly more than two weeks took male dog, to overcome this distance. Beavers
held a year ago with a flock this way, and do not forget the way
through the three republics, Chechnya, Ingushetia and Ossetia. But life is unpredictable otarnyh dogs. Two years later, during one of the driving of flocks, near the village of Voznesenovskaya (Chechnya) Bobrov was lost shepherds.
Such cases are not uncommon. After all, with the stretch flock's attention fully occupied shepherds looking after sheep. On the way there are often flocks of pit-traps. It is dug in the ground deeper, more than 1.5 meters deep, covered with branches and turf. When the flock moves closely, the sheep do not have room to maneuver, and fall into the pit. Shepherd does not see this as a large flock. Just stumbled on a hole, you can see it. Such traps are mainly found in the territory of Ingushetia and Chechnya. Often the shepherd notices that the shepherd left behind and is in one place. This means that the hole caught the sheep. But Shepherd is not always remarkable ¬ UT these traps. Tired and worn road, they want to stay in the shade or soak in any puddle. In a way they almost do not feed, or the dog always lag behind the flock, and only at night give her a little food.
I
remember that as a child, in his homeland (Azerbaijan, Khanlar
district, village Azat), I watched in the evening, while resting, the
shepherds fed their dogs. The boys climbed the trees that were in front of where the flock stopped. In the land of struggled a little hole, rammed his foot, and there was filled with steamed flour batter or feed. The dogs ate it avidly soup that she had no time to seep into the ground. But I watched it in Azerbaijan.
Kazbegi as shepherds during driving of the evening fed Shepherd bread. At the same winter feeding sites of the process is somewhat different. This is a whole life with its laws and regulations. In a flock of shepherds shepherd all of the debugged as a good mechanism. Laws in force in the pack there are predators. The leader of the pack as the conductor of his orchestra. Procreation,
protection of the flock, housing, education of young and keeping order
among the brethren, - everything is kept on it. Rigorous and, at the same time, life is beautiful shepherd of a flock. Laws of nature are paramount. Shepherd live at ease in parking, but some are tied near sheepyards, in places where bad viewing area. The Free the dogs are at home or accompany the shepherds a flock of sheep during grazing. Only pups are restless: it cleans the fight because of some bones, then carelessly run after each other. They, like all children, always happy. Much more complicated are the relations adult dogs. Each of them a certain hierarchical niche. In the evening of the dogs begins the general excitement: in front of the distribution of food. All dogs are pulled to the place of feeding, and shepherd putting food into the feeder and leaves. The leader of the first approach to the trough. As a rule, in the first minutes he can be very aggressive to their relatives. They feel it and do not fit the cor ¬ fly, while the leader does not quench the first bouts of hunger. A few minutes later suitable bitches. Then - puppies and adolescents. These he refers favorably. Sated, the leader away from the bowl and lay down near her. Now, with the background begin to catch up with adult males. They approach slowly, constantly watching the leader. If the leader starts to grumble, they stop at the point where he allowed them to approach. It takes more time, and they, as if by accident, make another attempt to approach. And so a few times, until the leader, enjoying his power and not allow them to eat. One of them would disrupt the system, and he immediately has to deal with the leader. Leader in these times is no mercy .. Of
course, not everything is always enough food, and then periodically
coming to Shepherd trays with feed for sheep and start licking it in
small portions.
Most dogs are fed steamed mixed fodder or much ¬ Noah mash, meat, they are rarely, mostly when the fall some sheep. Then the carcass is removed from the fallen skin necessarily the ears of sheep (and your ears are tags). Skin pass for reporting, and give the meat sheepdogs. First
of all, the dogs tear at the carcass sheep peritoneum, eat the insides,
then the muscle tissue and the "sugar" bones, and as a last resort -
