The Georgian Shepherd (Georgian: ქართული ნაგაზი), also known as Georgian Mountain Dog (Georgian: ქართული მთის ძაღლი), is a breed of guard dog and livestock guardian dog from the Georgian Caucasus. There are two kinds of Georgian livestock guardian dogs: the short haired 'Lion' type, typically pure white or white with dark patches on its coat and the long hair 'Bear' type are typically dark brown to black head and lighter brown covering the rest of the coat. In Georgia they are known as Qartuli Nagazi. The short hair 'Lion' type is considered to the oldest or Aboriginal variant of the breed, with the pure white being the rarest coat color. The 'Lion' variant was predominantly found in the north-east regions of Georgia. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
