Caucasian shepherds are very good guard dogs, and have been bred and trained to do such for many years. Many of the guardian breeds (Anatolian shepherds, Caucasian shepherds, great Pyrenees, etc) have natural instincts due to their historical work as sheep guardians that were mostly kept as dogs left to be independent on work on their own without human interaction. The thing with guard dogs, is any dog, regardless of natural instinct, is going to need at least SOME training to know what/who to guard, and when guarding is appropriate. Each dog is going to be an individual as well, so even if a breed as a whole is used mainly as a guardian type dog, an individual may be more or less naturally inclined toward it with or without training. As guard dogs can be dangerous and harmful to the wrong people without any training, training is always best regardless of breed choice.
