- Caucasian Shepherd is indigenous to many places in the world.
- Georgia has historically been the primary distribution location for these dogs.
- Satish, the dog’s owner, says that he purchased the dog from Hyderabad.
Bengaluru guy pays 20 crores for a Caucasian shepherd. “I wish someone asked the owner of the dog how the transaction was made and the details of it,” said a dog behaviourist who requested anonymity.
Satish, the dog’s alleged owner, informed the media that he purchased the dog from a breeder in Hyderabad. He told the Bengaluru media that the one-and-a-half-year-old canine is named ‘Cadabom Hayder’ and has won numerous gold at dog exhibitions.
The Dog
The Caucasian Shepherd is a guard dog breed. It is indigenous to Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Ossetia, Dagestan, and sections of Russia. The Caucasus Mountains in Georgia have historically been the primary distribution location for Caucasian Shepherd dogs, both in terms of the number and quality of dogs present.

According to the American Kennel Club, the breed has been used for ages to guard livestock against large and small predators such as wolves and coyotes, among other things.
The Price
According to sources, dog trainers work closely with many VIPs as well as the police department’s canine branch on this. A one-and-a-half-year-old Caucasian Shepherd puppy would cost anywhere between Rs 50,000 and Rs 1 lakh, according to them.
Dr Nagesh Reddy, a prominent Veterinary expert said, “One cannot bring any dog aged less than two years from another country as per law. So this pup would have been born inside the country. Moreover, importing any dog for breeding is completely illegal. Hence if someone has imported this dog or bred it to sell the pup, it certainly is not approved by the law.”
Chandan, a dog lover said, “I have 3 dogs at home and I love canines. If someone actually bought a dog for Rs 20 crores, he must have been fooled. Who buys it anyway? Also, did anyone ask him for the receipt for 20 crore rupees? How did the transaction happen? Was it by cash?”
“There are many Caucasian Shepherds in India. There is one in Tumakuru, 70 kms from Bengaluru. It may be rare, but is owned by a few enthusiasts. And I am damn sure none of them paid more than a lakh for it” said the dog behaviourist.
