Well I've met a few ovcharkas what made you get that breed. For those who know me they know I breed and raise PBGVs. Almost as good as GSDs. Talk about making you laugh....and tough as nails. For those who don't know what a PBGV is it is a Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen. Small Low to the ground, wire coated scent hound bred to hunt rabbits, foxes, deer and wild boar. In a pack a flushing dog. I'd love a Black Russian Terrier. Also a Grand Basset or two.
