Sage Koochee
The massive giant dog with the cropped ears, docked tail and massive muscular body is seen traveling with the Koochee caravans through the ancient routes in the mountains and deserts of Afghanistan and Central Asia. The dog is a Sage Koochee, only one of the many dogs hailed as the Dogs of the Nomads.The nomadic Koochee tribes highly depend on these tough and vigilant dogs to guard their livestock from wild animals and to safeguard their belongings and caravans from thieves. For centuries, these people have developed a breed that is fierce and courageous, highly intelligent to be able to function and perform its tasks with the least training and supervision. These hardy dogs are noted for their unmatched stamina. A Sage Koochee has adapted to the extremely low and high temperatures. These dogs have to keep pace with the caravan even on very little food and water supply. By showing their fearless aggression, the dogs may be able to scare off predators but there are instances when these dogs have proven their worth in fighting thieves and intruders.
