Outline:
The Moscow watchdog is very huge dog and hard to handle, but they might come in handy sometimes. They are similar to the St. Bernard since they were bred out from St. Bernard and Caucasian shepherd dog. In the second World War the Soviet Union needed hundreds of guard dogs to guard the surroundings. A dog breed that could survive the low temperature and be able to guard warehouses too. After the war these dogs were still held as guard dogs, but soon they became more common around houses. It is a large dog, usually they are around 40-60 kgs. Their fur is mostly black, brown and white, but the brown can be very dark, almost black or it can be very light, almost greyish. If trained right they make a very good family dog.
