Caucasian Shepherd dog in dog fighting. Caucasian Shepherd Dog in dog fighting Dog fighting Caucasian Shepherd Dogs

How dog fighting works and whether it can be banned, how much a champion dog costs and how important pedigree is. And in general, why did God give us living creatures? Revelations of a Dagestan breeder.

“First in line was Kaplan. He took all the titles and became the top sire. Goroch, his son, performed no worse than his father. Buynak, son of Goroch, became the champion of the Caucasus. From him came Pirate, Nelson...” In the reverent listing of the male dogs, one can hear biblical motifs. As in the surrounding landscape - a meager river, jagged stones and a cliff hanging over Bagin Bakhulov’s home, because of which his trestle bed and puppy cages look almost like a cave.

Here, in the mountains near Sogratl, the dog trainer spends the whole summer. Lean, wiry, big-headed, he himself looks like his pets, and his stone-lined closet under a natural roof looks like a wolf’s lair. A sociable donkey, who is soon destined to turn into food, spins his ears. Caucasian Shepherd dogs with cropped ears approach the guests and poke their wet noses at the camera.

It’s hard to imagine that these benevolent beasts in the ring will tear apart their opponents with their teeth and fight to the last. After all, Bagin is one of the best suppliers of dogs in Dagestan for testing, better known as dog fighting. Around the world, animal activists are calling for their ban. But how scary are these fights? What motivates you to participate in them - the thirst for profit? Excitement? Cruelty? Bagin shakes his head. He is sure that even the world of bloody dog ​​fights is ruled by love. Fear and loyalty.

— How did you become a dog trainer?

— For as long as I can remember, I have had roosters and dogs. I have loved them since childhood. Our entire tukhum is like this. If you don't love animals, you can't teach them anything.

— Which dogs become champions?

— The dog must be nimble, strong, and not too short. But the main thing is character. The rest will follow. Training only gives you strength. Let my male and female go, they will climb to the top of the mountain on their own. They like to run. And you can't make anything out of a characterless person. Puppies open their eyes and you can immediately see how they will grow up. I guess about seventy percent correctly. For example, if the smell of a wolf or other danger causes the hair on your back to rise, this is a bad sign, a sign of cowardice.

—Where do you get wolves for such checks?

“Once I myself raised a she-wolf, nicknamed Maychik. The hunters killed the mother, but felt sorry for the baby and gave it to me. Wolf cubs are very different from puppies. Their eyes open at eight days, and in dogs - at thirteen or fourteen. When you feed them formula milk and take away the bottle, the wolf cub clings and does not let go. I fed Maichik the same way as puppies - broth, meat, but after a couple of months she began to lose weight. I consulted with veterinarians and tried medications - to no avail. Then I realized that in the wild the wolf would fill its belly once a day and then rest. He immediately dumped a mountain of scalded tripe on her - she swallowed it instantly. She gained weight and grew so much that she even outstripped the puppies. She was not afraid of her acquaintances, and neither were they.

When strangers came here, she wandered around in a spiral, getting closer and closer. And as soon as I left, she stood next to me. Once I dragged a chicken away, so I hit it with a hose until I wet myself. After that, at the sight of walking chickens, she ran away. One of my bitches didn’t get along with her, and I gave Maychik to a baker friend for the summer.

I come here in the fall, and he complains: people are afraid to go to the bakery. I called her and she immediately came running. We haven’t seen each other for just four months, but the serious beast has already grown wild. She saw me - and let’s jump, dance, lick my neck. I hand-fed the wolf, put her in the enclosure and left - the place to prepare to pick her up. I come back, and he killed Maychik. He said she pulled out a lot of bags from the bakery and tore them up, so he couldn’t stand it. This year they offered wolf cubs, but I didn’t take them - their eyes had already opened. If a wolf sees the light, he will not become loyal. You can only keep this one on a chain. And Maychik was free.

— How are dogs trained?

— Each dog needs a special program. Goroch practiced on his own. The trainer took him at three o'clock in the morning a couple of kilometers from the village - the dog did not like living creatures, he attacked cows as if they were dogs. There he walked until evening. Some trainers of male dogs chase cars, hang weights from them, hook the wheels... I myself am not a supporter of this.

- Does it happen that they rebel?

- I teach them from infancy. How will they rebel? Caucasian dogs need toughness. When they don't listen, I hit them. If the dog is not afraid of the owner, the owner will be afraid of the dog.

— What have you learned from dogs?

— One day in May it snowed and hailed. Not the best weather for dog walks. I was going to the village. I can’t walk along the road: the shepherds will follow me. Then I forded the river, put on my shoes and went about my business. Seven hours later he returned - no dogs. I’m looking, and they’re sitting on the shore. Someone is waiting for me. This is how I learned to value my friends and love them as they love me. A brother will not always save you, but a faithful dog will die for you. If you fall off a cliff, she will whine, but will rush after you. But some dogs are like people, they don’t care. People and dogs

— Speaking of people. How do owners of fighting dogs treat their opponents?

— Dog lovers are all brothers. Help each other. Just call and any issue will be resolved. We go on visits, fishing, and weddings together. Sometimes during a fight you scold your opponent, but it’s just emotions. Then you hug him as if nothing happened.

— How important is the size of the dog?

— Everyone fights in their own weight category. There are even males weighing 106 kilograms. A smart heavyweight suffocates, crushes with mass. And a nimble, light fighter sometimes wears out his opponent so much that even the bigger dog loses.

- Well, just four-legged Mohammed Ali. Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee... English ethnographer Robert Chanciner wrote in a book about Dagestan about a local dog owner. He said: if his pet wins, he fights regularly, and if he loses, he is given a year of rest so that he can forget about the defeat.

— Some dogs even refuse to fight in the same ring after a loss. A rare occurrence, but I have encountered it. Dogs usually fight monthly, from October to April or early May. And so - every year, as long as age allows. Up to six, seven years old.

- And then?

- They grow old and die of their own death. You can't kill them. Son Gorocha, the grandfather of my puppies, lived with me for fourteen years. He died last year on November 28th. I nursed him from the first day. He grew up here. Knew the places well. He walked everywhere for days, but did not harm people or living creatures. Just didn’t allow himself to be hurt or petted.

— How does the championship system work?

— The winner of the Dagestan championship next year goes to the Caucasus championship. There is already a serious main prize - a car. The winner of these competitions advances to the Russian Championship. Then - to the main tournament, the Super League. It is usually held in Stavropol in October. According to the rules, only male dogs with titles are allowed there. Only Caucasian and Asian shepherd dogs participate in the Super League. No bull terriers. They fight in America. Everything there is different, like fights without rules. Huge stakes, the losing dog often dies. Serious injuries are rare here.

— Who usually wins the Super League?

— Mostly descendants of Kaplan. Its owner was wrestler Ruslan Karaev. He bought a male dog in Soviet times for either 14 or 18 thousand rubles. I continue the line of Kaplan and his son Goroch.

— Do foreigners come to competitions?

— Kazakhs constantly participate. The year before last there were Turks, Italians, Bulgarians. Many foreigners are afraid to take dogs to the Caucasus, but they buy most of the winners here. The Chinese hold their own championships of Caucasian breeds. They also have a Super League. Very good fights and dogs. Last year I sold my great-grandson Goroch to China. After this, his daughters were immediately snatched up. And my brother left for Baku.

— How much do dogs cost?

— For a puppy two or three months old, I charge 20-30 thousand. If they give, it’s good, if not, you can give in. You can't make money off dogs. All earnings are air money, they go away immediately. For food, drugs for plague. You have to go to Makhachkala for stomachs and tripe. Feed donkey meat. And if you are preparing for battle, you need special nutrition.

“I heard the champion is worth a fortune.”

— They talk about 2-3 million, but these are rumors. They are introduced to raise the price of the next generation. The price of a shepherd is neither high nor low. Enough for life - and okay. It's like a hobby. With fighting cocks it is even more difficult. They are fed grain, nuts, honey... In Gunib, on the day of the village, there are always horse races and dog, cock, and bull fights.

— The bulls seem to be so peaceful here...

— Mountain bulls can be very daring. If there is a good bull in the village and an opponent of the same age, they will definitely let him fight at the festival. They even hold ram fights here! Scary. How they knock with their horns - wow! As if fired from a gun. They bang their heads, throw their asses back, and they both fall. Sometimes they die. All the people come to see the animals - even more than the wrestlers. The villagers welcome every guest, but they don’t like journalists. They will make a broadcast, raise a scandal, and then try to ban the fights.

— Aren’t they already prohibited under the article “Cruelty to Animals”?

- This is impossible. Dog fighting in the Caucasus is like bullfighting in Spain.

— Bullfighting is no longer held in many Spanish cities. The Greens are fighting for a complete ban.

- They will arrange it on the sly anyway. Why did God give us living creatures? Cut and eat. The only thing I don’t like about bullfighting is that they stick these... yes, banderillas into the bull. They don't kill, they only torture. I would ban them. But the bullfighters go there voluntarily and risk their own lives. They have a right.

A person who does not like or understand dogs sees only pain and bites in fights. He demands a ban. And I raise puppies up to four years old. When I have little money, I buy medicine for them before I buy it for myself. I take care of them, prepare them and let them fight. If a fighter whines, lowers his tail, or gives up, the dogs are immediately separated. What kind of cruelty is there?

- But it looks brutal - growling, blood...

- Fighting dogs have skin on the front - like the iron armor of knights or the mane of a lion. Thick and durable. For a dog with character, even if it hurts, she endures it. If a dog squeaks when it bites, it means it is not suitable for fighting. But we don’t kill cowards or drive them out. They make excellent guards. The Stavropol Territory is full of wolves, and there is a great demand for such dogs there. It happens that the dog does not fight with other shepherd dogs, but drives the wolves away from the herd. And the opposite happens. One day they brought a wolf dog to a competition and set dogs against him. Even some of the winners were embarrassed. A world champion may be afraid of a wolf, but a coward will fight to the death.

Those who are neither suitable for fighting nor as shepherds are assigned to the rich for beauty. This was the brother of the male dogs bought by the Chinese and Bakuvians. I sold it to Novorossiysk. They sent a photo from there - lying on the sofa, next to children, toys... Usually cowards are lucky. A kennel with a tiled roof, a swimming pool, and a gilded fence. And the champion struggles and licks his wounds.

Both the Caucasian Shepherd Dog and the Alabai are members of the wolfhound family. Dogs of these breeds are capable of boldly going after both a wolf and an invader in order to protect the herd or property of the owner. But what will happen if they fight against each other? You will find out the answer to this question, as well as how a Caucasian Shepherd Dog can behave in fights with other dog breeds, in this article.

Introduction

Humanity has faced various dangers throughout the history of its existence. Initially, people tried to save and preserve themselves and their property from attacks by predators. To do this, they domesticated wild dogs, making them guards and defenders capable of defending their territory.

Looking at this state of affairs, many people have clearly established the stereotype of a fighting dog. They began to believe that these are terrible, aggressive, uncontrollable animals that do not know pity, whose main goal is to destroy all of humanity.

But this statement is completely wrong. Of course, all dog fights did not take place without the participation of fighting dogs. They were also used to bait various predators, for example, a wolf - a spectacle, to put it mildly, not for the faint of heart. But officially open, bloody open fights have sunk into oblivion, and the definition of “fighting dog” has stuck with many dogs. This is how the stereotype became entrenched in people’s minds.

In fact, modern fighting dogs have excellent physical abilities and a strict character, nothing more. Their owners make them angry due to poor or harsh training.

As mentioned above, now officially open dog fighting is prohibited - this is regarded as cruelty to animals. However, in Russia there are test fights for wolfhounds and other dog breeds capable of going into battle. This helps maintain their certain performance qualities. Such as the ability to overcome a wolf, protect the owner from attack by intruders, and others.

You need to feel the difference - this is a test controlled by experienced Russian dog handlers, and not a mortal battle. For example, in the West, trainers specifically train a pit bull, making it a vicious murder weapon.

Basic Rules

To understand who is better, stronger, more agile, smarter among large breed dogs, we had to pit them against each other. Specialists who have long been involved in the selection of dogs through dog test fights have come up with certain rules. In the overall picture of the fight, it is thanks to the rules that it becomes clear what qualities a particular dog has.

Here are the main points of the summary of rules so that you can understand what exactly they pay attention to during an organized dog fight:

• fights are carried out with the aim of forming a breed;
• fights are conducted in strict accordance with sports rules and Article 245 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (cruelty to animals);
• all fights are voluntary - owners should not force their dogs to fight;
• the fight can be stopped if the animal is injured, and the injured dog is considered the loser;
• if the opponent whines, he is considered a loser due to increased sensitivity to pain;
• if one of the opponents leaves the ring during an active fight, he is considered a loser due to cowardice;
• if the dog does not want to meet the opponent halfway, then they change places; if the same thing happens again, the dog is disqualified.

Thanks to the rules, you can identify the shortcomings and advantages of any dog. However, the assessment is not mechanical; each case is considered individually.

Breed comparisons

The large and powerful Caucasian Shepherd is capable of leading a herd and can save it from a predator attack. This animal can follow the trail of both a wolf and a person. These abilities have made him a universal breed: she is an excellent guard dog and a devoted protector.

The fighting qualities of Caucasian Shepherd dogs were tested mainly in mixed fights against different breeds. As a result, it was proven that the Caucasian can fight no worse, or even better, than any fighting dog or wolf, often winning. Let's look at a few examples.

If we take as an example the fight between a Caucasian Shepherd Dog and an Alabai, it will not immediately be clear which of them will be stronger. To figure out who will emerge victorious from the fight, you first need to say a few words about Alabai.

Alabai is also an excellent guard dog, however, its guarding qualities are territorial. This means that a dog of this breed will not pay attention to someone who is outside the meters assigned to it, unlike a Caucasian. But as soon as the “enemy” crosses the line set by the animal, he will be in trouble.

Alabai often takes part in dog fights to preserve its unique characteristics. Being one of the largest dogs in the world, the Alabai is capable of defeating many rivals, because it has not only great weight, but also remarkable strength.

It is very difficult to say with certainty who will be stronger - the Caucasian Shepherd or the Alabai. These representatives of the wolfhound family have almost the same set of physical and mental qualities. Which of them will perform better in battle depends on several parameters: weight category, conditions of detention and training, individual characteristics.

If the Moscow Watchdog goes into battle against the Caucasian Shepherd, then, most likely, the second breed will perform better. Of course, if the Caucasian Shepherd developed correctly both psychologically and physically.

The Moscow Watchdog appeared as a result of crossing the Caucasian Shepherd, St. Bernard and Russian Pinto Hound. Therefore, many dog ​​handlers and experts consider it a “degraded” version of the Caucasian, incapable of many power tasks.

Despite the fact that the Moscow watchdog considers its main task to protect its owner, it is also capable of guarding its territory. These qualities, combined with obedience and unpretentiousness, are what the breeders tried to obtain when creating this breed. The Moscow Watchdog rarely participates in test battles. Based on all of the above, it is generally accepted that the Caucasian Shepherd is stronger.

In the case of comparing the Caucasian and German Shepherd, the first breed will most likely again be better. The German Shepherd does not have the same strength as the Caucasian, although both dogs perform the same tasks at home: to protect and protect the owner and his family.

But even here everything will depend on the development of animals. If the German Shepherd is ready to enter the ring, that is, has all the necessary qualities and features for this, and the opponent turns out to be less capable, then the German Shepherd will win.

If you put a Caucasian Shepherd against some kind of fighting dog, for example, a pit bull, then even if it doesn’t win, it will fight no worse. Naturally, in the presence of certain fighting qualities, such as endurance, intelligence, courage.

What do you think about the role of the Caucasian Shepherd in dog fighting?
