I think yes, if you would like to have a dog that is intelligent, good-mannered and muscular who will protect you and your family at all costs, then the Moscow Watchdog is the right breed for you. These dogs can become excellent watchdogs and protection dogs, as they are strong, huge and very brave. They are dominant, so early obedience training and socialization is a must for them. They like old, considerate children, and if raised together, they can do well with other dogs. Because of their natural instincts it is not recommended to keep them together with other small pets in one house. A large yard and daily exercise is a must for this dog.

The coat of the Moscow Watchdog is moderate in length, thick and dense that requires at least weekly brushing. They are average shedders. The breed is generally healthy, but they are prone to health issues like hip dysplasia and obesity.

Training the Moscow Watchdog is somewhat hard, as they can easily become stubborn and are dominant. On the other hand, they are clever and with a firm, consistent and rewarding trainer it should cause no problem.

All in all, the Moscow Watchdog is ideal for families with older kids who can provide the dog many love and affection, as well as a large yard and daily playing sessions.

I hope this article can help you decide whether the Moscow Watchdog is the best breed for you and for your family.

Is it normal, anyway?!

Yes, it is. Just imagine the situation from the point of view of your Moscow Watchdog. He is part of the family, often treated as “the kid”, and then, suddenly, a new creature arrives and takes all the attention of his beloved family. It is quite similar to what older children feel, when a little brother/sister arrives. One of the differences is just that the dog can’t speak English

Actually, if we are aware of this ‘problem’ in advance, the situation can be handled, but it needs consciousness and to be started in time, long before the baby’s arrival. Let’s see how we can prepare our Moscow Watchdog for the new family member.

If your dog’s daily routine has to be changed with the baby’s arrival (it probably will), you should start changing the rules much earlier, giving him plenty of time to get used to the new set up. This way it isn’t going to be so sudden and shocking. If your Moscow Watchdog hasn’t really been trained before, it’s high time to start. He should learn at least a few commands, like sit, stay, etc. This way, he’ll be easier to handle.

Many families worry about their dog endangering the health of the child, so the best thing to do is to take your pet to the vet, get him checked and get some advice. Get your Moscow Wathdog used to the new smells, sounds in advance (blankets, lotions, toys). It’s also a good idea, that just after your baby was born, send home a blanket that the baby had been in, so your dog can experience the child’s smell in advance. It is very important to know that your  Moscow Watchdog will get a lot less attention from the mother, so when taking the baby home for the first time, the mother should greet the dog, so it is better if someone else is carrying the baby.

It is also a good idea not to leave them alone together at the first times, until your Moscow Watchdog feels comfortable with the baby, because, for example, it is very possible that the dog won’t tolerate the child’s crying very well in the beginning. You have to teach him that this is a normal sound, and you should motivate him not to bark (with treats, for example).

And the most important rule for last, maybe it seems too obvious, but it’s still worth mentioning: try to give as much attention to your Moscow Watchdog as you can. The point is that he has to feel that you do care about him. If you keep this in mind, most probably there will be no problem. You could also try Preparing Fido, which is an amazing collection of Baby sounds designed especially to get your dog ready for the arrival of the new Baby!

When seriously getting a pet, impulse buying shouldn’t be an option. For a beginner, awesome appearance and size of a dog may distract one’s judgment of what a purebred Moscow Watchdog should be. Prior to visiting a kennel, do some reading and approach people who actually own a purebred. Gather as much data as one can because the quality of the dog will determine either ease or frustration on the owner’s side. One way to know exactly a purebred is to study the breed standard. All quality dogs must mirror or reflect the written guidelines. A genuine Moscow Watchdog is protective and strong-willed.  They are large with sturdy frames with coats of red and white, medium coarse hair that have fringing on the ends. A Moscow Watchdog is usually 25 to 27 inches tall and weighs 100 to 150 pounds. A more thorough research can help one keep a watchful eye out for non-quality breeders just looking to make a buck.
