Reply to comment by NotACapedCrusader1 in Hundreds of Dogs Saved From Nevada Breeding Farm in Huge Police Operation by NotACapedCrusader1

These are Caucasian shepherds which will make the process of rehoming very difficult :(

These dogs are a beautiful breed and one of my favorites but are extremely difficult to socialize properly without an experienced trainer familiar with the breed, and their tendency towards aggression and independence makes them unsuitable for most homes especially if not trained properly at an early age. Tragic story all around

They were meant to be livestock guardians, and are great at that. To be cooped up in a house with no job is what causes issues with this breed, and other LGD breeds.

They are a livestock guard dog. Not the easiest “pet”

With dogs like this socialization especially matters a ton. People get new puppies and don't realize that the best way to have a puppy turn into a good adult is to take it with you everywhere possible first 6 months you have it. Dogs that meet massive numbers of people when they're little puppies end up much friendlier.
