Centralasian Sheepdog Detailed Introduction

The Central Asian Shepherd Dog is a close relative of the Caucasian Shepherd Dog. This fearless sheepdog has been used as a guard dog for sheep for hundreds of years. There are two strains, long-haired and short-haired. This breed was formed in a vast area from the Caspian Sea to China, from the Southern Ural Mountains to Afghanistan. It has the bloodline of the ancient Tibetan Mastiff, which many herders own and is also a fighting dog in Mesopotamia (Southwest Asia). This dog is related to the Mongolian Mastiff, the Tibetan Mastiff, the Afghan Mastiff and the Iranian Mastiff. It is also related to the Spanish Mastiff in Western Europe. Judging from its origins, the Central Asian Shepherd Dog is a guard dog, herding dog and large hunting dog.

The Central Asian Shepherd Dog is an ancient breed with a history of more than 4,000 years. No one knows their true origins accurately, but many people believe that the Tibetan Mastiff is their ancestor because the breed has the bloodline of the ancient Tibetan Mastiff, and it is closely related to the Mongolian Mastiff, Tibetan Mastiff, Afghan Mastiff and Iranian Mastiff. When the Mongols invaded Europe, these dogs went with them. Therefore, it is possible that it is one of the ancestors of the European shepherd dog. This breed is rare outside of Central Asia and is dwindling in its native Russia. The Central Asian Shepherd Dog is a calm, fearless guardian of the flock and a reliable companion dog. They get along well with every family member and can even look after children. Because they adapt to the nomadic lifestyle and are trained to be excellent working dogs, they live in this vast land from Russia, Iran to Afghanistan and all the way to Siberia. This region also includes Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and the Central Asian region includes Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan, where the Central Asian Shepherd Dog once protected the herders and their flocks.

The Central Asian Shepherd Dog is a calm, fearless guardian of the flock. They can get along well with every family member and even take care of children. This dog is very alert, independent and aggressive. It is obedient to its owner and family. It tries to dominate other dogs and is wary of strangers. They are guards and are happy to play this role. It is recommended not to let it approach strange dogs. At the same time, its personality is not for everyone. They need someone who understands their character and cares for them. They are not suitable for the timid.

Central Asian Shepherd Dog is a very good guard dog breed. It is not suitable for living in a small family because of its huge size. If you have a large yard or enough space to feed it, you will find that it is very friendly to people, including the elderly, children and other animals in the house. Even if something angers it, as long as it hears the owner's command, it will obey and correct it immediately.
