General
The South Russian Owtcharka (SRO) is one of the 3 Owtcharka breeds from Russia. Originally the SRO came from the Crimea, which is in the
Ukraine. The Russian word "Owtcharka" means sheepdog. The SRO is officially named Yoozhnorusskaya Owtcharka, but is usually called South
Russian or Yoozhak for short. It is a large dog, brisk and nimble, with very strong muscles. The minimum height is 62 cm for bitches and 65 cm
for males. There is no maximum height. The coat distinguishes him from the other two Owtcharka breeds. The upper coat is long (10-15 cm) with
lots of furry undercoat. The uppercoat feels like goats hair, the color is mostly white but some SROs are grey or beige, or white with grey marks.
