Remember the two that killed the woman in the hallway of the Apartment Building in CA? It was the same breed. To me they are also fearsome in looks and demeanor. Wow, sounds like you got away...barely...yikes. Yes the dogs that savaged that poor woman (the owners should have gotten life) were monsters, and again, dogs NOT suited for MOST people. But I will bet the breeders sold them for a pretty penny. I watched Ken judge an ARBA show, that Evan was judging as well, it was very interesting. The Presas and some of the other breeds COMMANDED distance...and the judges respect it. Even in the Kavkaskaya Ovtcharka standard it states that they should demonstrate a strong distrust of strangers, and aggression in the ring is not to be penalized. In fact a grown KO, is faulted if it is too friendly to strangers , as an adult. Their standard is VERY clear on temperament, and no gray area is allowed.
