How long do Caucasian Shepherd Dogs live?
Caucasian Shepherd Dogs typically live about 10 to 12 years. Compared to similar large breeds, such as the Anatolian Shepherd, who lives about 10 to 13 years, or the Tibetan Mastiff, who averages 12 to 15 years, their lifespan is on the shorter side.
Factors that affect their lifespan include their large size, which can put stress on joints and lead to conditions like hip dysplasia. Like other big dogs, they may be prone to heart issues or bloat (gastric torsion). Proper nutrition, regular vet check-ups, and maintaining a healthy weight can help extend their lifespan.
