Central Asian Shepherd Dog: reviews. “The Central Asian Shepherd always thinks”

Send

At first, I was engaged in Caucasian Shepherd dogs, but since I had the first dog of the Central Asian Shepherd breed, I have not even thought about any other breed. The books and the forum of Elena Nikolaevna Mychko helped me a lot - a recognized specialist and expert, as well as the owner of the CAO breeding nursery.

Why were Central Asian Shepherds bred? What is their purpose?

This breed was not specifically bred, the so-called "folk selection" for it for more than 40 centuries. At home, the "Asians" live almost on their own. Shepherds, a large flock of sheep and their eternal enemy - the wolf. Central Asian Shepherd dogs seem to coexist next to a person on mutually beneficial conditions, dogs protect the flock from wolves and other uninvited guests, and the person, in turn, feeds them. Often Asians eat pasture and catch lizards and monitor lizards.

An Asian should work, like any other breed, he needs to be educated, taught the necessary skills, a certain model of behavior. If you don’t deal with Asian or, even worse, poison him with dogs or people, the consequences are predictable and always very sad.

What is the character of the Central Asian Shepherd?

Central Asian Shepherd Dogs are mostly self-confident, very balanced and even slightly phlegmatic dogs. When the Central Asian shepherd lived in our apartment, she was not visible and not heard - she lies in a corner near the front door, the entrance to the house is guarded and is reliably protected. The dog is not visible and not heard. Only occasionally, when someone else appears on the stairwell, you can hear a soft, dull growl. Moreover, Asians, as a rule, do not react to neighbors living nearby.

Breeder's Observations: You can’t call the Central Asian Shepherd either fearful or desperately brave. They just do the work assigned to them. “Asians” are capable of both advancing and defending themselves. And external phlegm is very deceptive - if necessary, these dogs move at lightning speed, hitting the enemy faster than he has time to understand how it happened, while the "Asians" almost always warn of their intentions, a formidable growl in most cases is enough to stop the unwanted enemy action and retired. They will not pursue him. But when attacking the owner or family members (for the dog - packs) "Asians" rush into battle without any warning. The huge advantages of Central Asian Shepherd Dogs are a very high intelligence, powerful natural immunity and a very high pain threshold.

By the way, in our yard there is only one bitch, because if you keep two or more, no matter how you separate them, sooner or later they can mate, and it is quite possible that they will die. Here it is in action, the power of instincts! Free up space for future offspring and at the same time crack down on a competitor.

Although there are exceptions - for example, a mother and daughter can live together quite calmly, but this is an exception, and family ties do not guarantee a peaceful life for dogs. Males will find out who is more important, if one of them gives up or immediately recognizes the advantage of the other, there may not be a showdown. Males, in contrast to bitches, when clarifying relations with relatives, never seek to inflict serious damage to the adversary.

In general, the attitude towards other dogs depends on the socialization and education of the Central Asian Shepherd. If she is socialized and properly raised, she will be completely calm to perceive strangers, as well as dogs and other animals outside her territory. But if someone shows aggression, the “Asian” will not tolerate and will immediately explain that it’s better not to bully him.

Breeder's Observations: Aggression is common to all Central Asian Shepherd dogs, as well as to many other guard dogs. The most important thing, of course, depends on the owner of the dog. It is he who must correctly form the manifestation of aggression, when it is possible, when it is not necessary and in what cases it is categorically impossible, such as aggression against children. Under no circumstances should a “right” Asian have to show aggression on a child.

Of course, they allow our child anything, in the worst case, when the child is completely torturing them, the dog can quietly quietly roar and go to his booth. At the same time, the BOOD is a taboo for children! Dog owners should bring up not only dogs, but also their children, I emphasize once again, for children, a dog BOOD - TABU !!! This is the only place where an Asian is sure that no one will “get it”.

Many people ask what is the difference between Caucasian and Central Asian shepherd dogs. Caucasian Shepherd Dogs are slightly more aggressive, but there is not much difference in their behavior.

All our dogs successfully and happily perform the functions of not only a guard, but also a guard companion, accompany us on fairly long trips on different types of vehicles and behave perfectly with a large crowd of strangers.

The most important thing is education. In order for the Central Asian Shepherd to be comfortable for coexistence, it needs to be trained.

How easy are Central Asian Shepherds to learn?

Central Asian Shepherd dogs are trained instantly. Although dog handlers who are accustomed to working with German Shepherds are convinced that it is impossible to work with “Asians”. The fact is that Central Asian Shepherd Dogs always think before doing something.

Breeder's recommendation: Many people ask the question "when should I start training a Central Asian shepherd?" You need to start as soon as the dog gets to you - at least in 3 weeks. In this case, the so-called "breaking" of the "Asian" can be very expensive for you!

All our dogs have undergone serious training since the age of one month, and already at 4 months they complied with OKD standards.

How to care for Central Asian Shepherd Dogs?

Central Asian Shepherd Dog Care is minimal.

The molting of our dogs is seasonal, but if the Central Asian shepherd lives in the apartment, it molts constantly.

Breeder's observations: Their coat is very interesting - self-cleaning. Even if the Central Asian shepherd gets dirty very much, after 1 - 2 hours it is clean again.

The Central Asian Shepherds tolerate both heat and cold.

Our dogs go to a toilet on a site in a certain place. Moreover, we taught them, if necessary, to cope with need on command.

What kind of owner does the Central Asian Shepherd need?

First of all, the Central Asian Shepherd cannot be taken as the first dog. If the desire is irresistible, it is worth choosing a bitch, while it is very desirable to be able to turn to an experienced dog handler who deals specifically with “Asians” and similar breeds. But it’s better to take such a dog to an experienced, knowledgeable person with a strong character and consistent in his actions.

You can take an adult “Asian” if the new owner knows how to handle this dog. But doing this is still not recommended, it is better to take a puppy.
