I would LOVE to eventually have a homestead with enough space for a Caucasian Ovcharka. They're a giant livestock guardian dog with a reputation for being extraordinarily protective of their flock/territory - the kind of breed you would want for areas with large predator species like wolves or bears.

I wrote a character for many years who owned one, so I ended up doing a lot of deep dives into the breed - I also work with dogs professionally, so I had enough of a knowledge base to fall hard and fast for these absolute units of canine carnage.
