Central Asian Shepherd (Alabai) - Dog Breed
Written sources testify that the Central Asian Shepherd Dog came to existence in the region between the Caspian Sea, Turkey, Ural, and the north-western Chinese frontier. This dog was an essential part of the everyday life of local nomadic tribes for over 4 000 years. It’s commonly thought that the primary predecessor of this breed is an ancient Tibetan Mastiff. It also may have escorted the Mongols during their invasion to central and Eastern Europe. The Central Asian Shepherd Dog was actively bred for working purposes in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and other countries in the region. The vast majority of these dogs were used exclusively as livestock and personal guardians while some others were acquired for participation in dog fights. Nonetheless this type of dog fights was much less sanguinary than notorious pit bull fights. More often than not dogs would assess each other before real actions and the weaker rival would simply retreat. As the matter of fact serious injuries were fairly uncommon in such type of entertainment.

Mine 11months old is 98 cm tall & weighs in at 102 KG & still growing. Has extra big teeth they are 8 cm long. He has the biggest head I have ever seen on a dog. Vet thinks he will get to be at least 110 cm tall weigh at least 110 KG, vet wants to know why all my dogs I get, get so huge. I feed them a special mix when they are very young & they stay strong grown huge stay extremely healthy & live to around 20 yrs of age. Learned this mixture from a old indian chief off the st lawrence. All my dogs I have owned have gotten no less then 96 cm tall & all weighed over 95 kg I have owned Great Danes,Caucasion sheperds,central asians,Kangals & Boz Sheperds.
