OWTCHAR (Russian Sheepdog) 



Color : Slate color, dirty white, and nearly black, Height : 32 in. Weight : 105 Ibs. 



This is a large and strongly built dog of very great antiquity. His head is massive, 

 round, and covered with softer hair than on the body. The eyes are rather large, dark 

 brown in color, and very intelligent. The ears are of fair size, hanging, well coated, 

 and are sometimes cut and carried semi-erect. He has a short, muscular neck, strong, 

 well developed body, and is the largest of all the varieties of the sheep dogs, and is 

 intended to defend his flocks against wolves. The tail is often docked, otherwise it 

 should be well coated, and his coat is very dense and somewhat woolly.
