My friend alabay Aly - working with Turkmenian wolfhound

Central Asian shepherd dog – Alabay

In fact it’s not the same. There are several kinds of Central Asian shepherds, that are different by their constitution. Alabay – is a kind of Central Asian shepherds which was developed in Turkmenia and together with the famous Akhal-Teckin horses are qualified as a national value. Another name of these dogs is Turkmenian wolfhound. All these dogs were and are used primarily to defense herds. Since the 30-ieth in the former Soviet Union cynologists made attempts to use these shepherds for patrol and protection work.

Alexander Mazover, an outstanding Russian cynologist, made a great contribution into the development of this breed. In his book “Breeding in the service cynology” wrote that use of Central Asian shepherds in the army gave promising results. In 1939 at a National competition a Central Asian shepherd Archy (male) was a winner in inestigating, and his son Packet – protecting work.

By the FCI this breed was registered in 1993. In recent years this breed gained popularity in Europe. Teaching these dogs it’s better to choose various methods as they are very independent.
