Automatic translate from inseparabile.comHISTORY OF THE RACE
| It narrates the legend that a Allah day incontro' the centroasiatico dog and said to it: "You will be the friend of the man until the end of your days in the joy and the pain, and will have to guard its house and the animals". And also now in the Turkmenistan to the birth of the puppys the shepherds try that one with the spot on the forehead and say: "E' sent from Allah". The history of the shepherdesses of Asia centers them much ancient, going back one, probably, to the IV sec. a.C. In ancient citta' of Altin - Depe (fine III the century a.C.) they have been recovered sculptures in terracotta of dogs with amputated orecchie and tail, also on some silver goblets of that age found in the north of the Afghanistan are brought back figures of such dogs. |

The credited version devout on its origin that the centroasiatico comes down from the mythical one molosso of Tibet, father of all the molossoidi but as they say in Turkmenistan: "verita' on the origin of the centroasiatico alone Allah knows it". Sure that the shepherdesses alabai have maintained until today its originates them characteristic being one of the little breeds not still manipulated from the man for closely connected human scopes to its original function. The sconfinate steppes of Asia Center them, in a territory that today comprises geographically the states of the Kazakistan, the Uzbekistan, the Turkmenistan, the Kirgizistan until the sour reliefs of the Pamir, to the borders with the Afghanistan and China is the territories of origin of the mittelasiatico. |
|
| The Turkmeno standard describes to the shepherdesses centroasiatico or shepherdesses mittelasiatico as a race with the head massiccia and large but at the same time with the soft lines of the skull, orecchie amputated, round eye, teeth large and strong with closing to scissor or tenaglia. The wide and deep thorax, the back massiccia and the limbs parallels must give the impression of a strong and sure animal of s. The medium stature of i males 70-75 cm and that one of the females 65-70. |

The attacked tail high, amputata.Il character of the shepherdesses of Asia centers them calm and balanced. E' much mistrustful one with the strangers above all in absence of the master. The most affectionate E' with this last one and the members of the familiar nucleus. The great equilibrium of this dog allows to take it to the just decisions in all the situations. Also to the leash its calm behavior, chip ax of good degree the encounter or the vicinity with other dogs towards which not never aggressive, however if provoked, able of fulminee and particularly violent reactions. The physical characteristics and of equilibrium of the centroasiatico allow to use it for the various devout scopes. |
|
| In 1990 in the Turkmenistan this race be declared: "National Patrimony". In the origin places these dogs have two functions: shepherds and caretakers are of the flock that of the assets of their masters. Particularly developed the function of defender in a world where the lupo, the bear and, not last, the leopardo they are still today lethal predators, for this to the puppys come from birth amputated the orecchie and the tail to little days directly from the shepherdesses with the knife on one stone, while the mother after the participation, leccando the hurt small, firm the blood. The school of the combat begins very soon. The puppys playing always try to bite the front leg of the adversary and thus they are prepared for the future to fight with the lupi. |

 |
In order to maintain in shape their dogs the Turkmeni shepherds organize combats that in those still wild places they represent of the true and own tests for the selection of the riproduttori. E' superfluous to emphasize that in order to face lupi and bears it is necessary great courage, dogs weak people for structure and character will not be able to never fight with the lupi. The shepherdesses centroasiatico diffused on a territory much wide one for which given to find of the structural differences. Cos the Turkmeni dogs are devout light of its siblings of mountains of the Kirgizistan. In order to walk on the sand it must be devout light. On mountains of the Paradise, native land of those nomadic people who the Soviet ones never did not succeed to dominate, the lupi is devout large and, therefore, also the dogs are devout large of their siblings of deserto.Il centroasiatico long-lived a large dog of rusticit and devout regarding many other molossoidi. |
|
| Perhaps for its great equilibrium that the door to accept, in presence of the master, also devout strangers sure indicated for all those who do not wish an always aggressive dog in the comparisons of persons and/or animals. Used for centuries for hard tasks, in often proibitive climatic conditions the Shepherdesses of Asia Center have developed them a resistance and a force that little find you avail again in the canine world becoming for those populations: "the race of the true knights of the East". |
