The South Russian Ovcharka[a] or South Russian Shepherd Dog is breed of flock guardian dog. It developed in the areas of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union that are now Ukraine and southern Russia, and is thought to derive from cross-breeding between local dogs of the Russian steppes and long-haired shepherd dogs brought to the area from Spain in the late eighteenth century together with Merino sheep.[2][3]: 401  These may have been similar in appearance to the present-day Gos d'Atura Catala.[2]
