Central Asian dogs are generally not aggressive. Central Asian dogs are very friendly to their owners and have a strong desire to protect themselves, but they can be aggressive towards unfamiliar people.
The Central Asian Shepherd Dog is the direct relative of the Caucasian Dog. This brave and fearless Shepherd Dog has been used as a protection dog for sheep for hundreds of years. There are two strains, long-haired and short-haired.
This dog breed has ancient Tibetan mastiff lineage and is closely related to Mongolian mastiffs, Tibetan mastiffs, Afghan mastiffs and Iranian mastiffs. When the Mongols went on an expedition to Europe, these dogs also went with them. Therefore, it is probably one of the ancestors of the European Shepherd Dog. This species is rare outside of Central Asia, and the number in its native Russia is also shrinking. The Central Asian Shepherd Dog is a calm, fearless protector of the flock and a trustworthy companion dog. They get along well with every member of the family and can even protect children.
The Central Asian Shepherd Dog has a tall body, a huge build and developed muscles. Its body length is slightly longer than its shoulder height (especially in females). The shortest shoulder height for adult males is 65 cm and for females is 60 cm. The gender characteristics are obvious, with males being taller and taller than females.
The head of the Central Asian Shepherd Dog is well proportioned and strong. The skull is broad, with prosperous but clean cheeks, and slightly raised eyebrows. The forehead is slightly protruding. The muzzle is blunt, slightly shorter than the length of the skull, and the eyes are full, wide and deep. The jaw is strong and broad. The nose is big and black. The lips are thick and cover the lower jaw completely. The teeth are white, large, and closely connected. The eyes are not large and oval, with forward vision, deep sunk into the eye sockets, and a wide distance between the eyes. The ears are not large, triangular, overhanging, and set low at the base. The skin is thick, but not very elastic, and has a rich subcutaneous fat structure, which may often produce crop bags and lower breast dewlaps. The coat is rough and straight, with a flourishing undercoat.
The Central Asian Shepherd Dog is a calm, fearless protector of the flock. They can get along well with every member of the family and even take care of children. Outside the home, they try to control other dogs and remain alert to strangers. They are protectors and enjoy playing this role. At the same time, this characteristic is not suitable for everyone. They need a person who understands their character and cares about them. They are not suitable for feeding the weak.
When raising Central Asian dogs, you should pay more attention to their living habits.
