Looks like a caucasian mountain dog to me. I did some work in Romania once, and the plant was patrolled by them and their handlers. Easily the biggest dogs I've ever seen.

She is a Ovcharka (Russian caucasian shepherd). She is 3 years old, weighs 140 lbs. and is 31" at the withers. I love this dog like no other, but am not sure that I would get this breed again. I firmly believe that she is half wild. I spent ALLOT of time over the last three years not so much training her as domesticating her. She is uber smart, strong prey drive and instinct to protect the pack. So while trainable, she has a mind of her own like you would not believe.

Correct. Not only big, but instinctively hard wired as a guard dog. Very territorial and instinct to protect the pack. When I visit anyone with dogs, I have to establish her area (e.g. a corner in a bedroom, utility room, etc.). If I do not she will commandeer the house.

Sorry for not updating. I am not very good about posting (unless I really need some info - I'm kind of selfish that way ). I'll get a bunch of updates & pics out shortly.

Forks rebuilt w/ Racetech Gold Emulators. Top triple tree replaced w/ non-integrated handlebar mount. Seven inch riser w/ slight sweep back and motocross style handlebars. Finally, some fork stabilizers.

Note the dog, once again guarding the bike. She loves when I work on stuff. Now if I could only train her to bring me beer...

Speed Merchant radial brake mount & Tokicos. Can't see it in this picture but this bike now has twin disks. Rotors came off a Fat Bob. Still have to run brake lines...

Rocker housing and rocker cover mounted back up. The tank & 1/4 fairing are back from the paint shop & just put on the bike for a trial fit.


Notice the Sputhe & Predator behind the dog - they will get put on this weekend.
