Anyone heard/seen these dogs before. I didn't even think it was real I
thought it was photo shopped or something

Caucasian Mountain Dogs are strongly-boned, muscular and
even-tempered Molossers. The breed has two types: mountain and plain.
Plain dogs have a shorter coat and appear taller as they are more
lightly built. Mountain types have a heavier coat and are more
muscularly built. The breed's weight range is 46–82 kg (102–180 pounds),
although individuals over 100 kg (220 pounds) are not uncommon, and the
height range is 74-88 cm.

Temperament
Caucasian Shepherds are typically assertive, brave, alert, strong, hardy
and courageous to a fault. They are probably the most aggressive
natural guard dog bred in domesticity and truly second to none in
bellicosity towards strangers.
The breed's weight range is 46–82 kg (102–180 pounds), although
individuals over 100 kg (220 pounds) are not uncommon, and the height
range is 74-88 cm.
Generally healthy and long lived, hip dysplasia, obesity and
occasional heart problems are known to occur.

Everything and everyone who belongs to the family, including
children, cats, other dogs, etc. will be regarded by this dog as part of
its family and as such will fall under its
guardianship. Softness and vicious temperaments are considered serious
faults for the breed.

the Scary one in the second pic is supposed to be the dog by the way although I wouldn't like to meet either of them on a dark night
