Alabai are short-haired and long-haired. An adult pet weighs from 40 to 90 kg, and its height reaches 70 cm. It all depends on gender and conditions of detention. Alabaev girls are much smaller than males. Central Asian Shepherd puppies grow quite quickly, and already from 5-6 months they begin to prepare for life in the yard.

The coat colors of the Central Asian Shepherd Dog are quite varied: white, red, brown, fawn, gray and brindle. A special place is occupied by black and black-and-white alabai. The completely charcoal breed has a beautiful shiny coat that plays in the sun.

In dark-colored puppies, a thick undercoat is formed by 5-6 months. Until this moment, the baby's fur does not yet have a rich shade and is close to gray. The eyes and nose of the black "bear" are dark in color. Black Alabai are beautiful and solid dogs.

Naturally, large and strong dogs are characterized by waywardness. However, with proper upbringing, the puppy grows up for the owner to be a loyal and sensitive friend. The dog is aggressive towards enemies, therefore it most often acts as a guardian of private property. Alabai is friendly and accommodating with family members.

The Central Asian Shepherd Dog has leadership qualities and is unfriendly towards other dogs. In this regard, the Alabaevs are walked exclusively in a muzzle. They are able to suddenly pounce on someone else's animal and cause irreparable harm to his health, right up to death.

They are very serious about raising puppies of this breed. The kid begins to teach commands from an early age. Otherwise, the pet will show independence.

The Alabai inherited the instincts of herding breeds from their ancestors. They guard not only the yard territory, but also all the living creatures that live there. A guard dog of impressive size instantly reacts to strangers. She gives her voice and growls unfriendly.

It is unlikely that the Central Asian Shepherd Dog will feel comfortable in a city apartment. Watchdogs need space and fresh air. A sedentary lifestyle is unacceptable for the Alabai. Puppies begin to prepare for street life from six months, when they have a thick undercoat.

Many breeders complain that Alabai ignore the kennel. This behavior is explained incorrect location of the booth. The point is that the watchdog needs keep the entire territory under control around the clock.

Alabai are very emotional animals. They need in tactile contact and constant attention of the owner... The breeder needs to regularly hug the pet and stroke the thick coat. The Central Asian Shepherd Dog shows its trust in a person by substituting its scruff (the instinct inherited from its ancestors). It is categorically impossible to use physical force against the Alabai: an animal can turn into a real beast and become deadly.

It is impossible to keep adult Alabai on a chain all the time. Long long distance walks are vital for the dog. In a confined space, the pet will become angry and aggressive. Adult dogs are fed 2 times a day at certain hours. The Alabaev diet includes:

• raw fresh meat (except pork);
• porridge (buckwheat, rice, oatmeal);
• boiled sea fish without bones;
• wheat bran;
• dairy and fermented milk products;
• boiled vegetables (except potatoes);
• offal.

It is better to buy industrial food for the Central Asian Shepherd premium or super premium. Pet drinkers should always be filled with fresh water. A large pet is bathed 1-2 times a year, and combed out regularly (2-3 times a month). They need regular eye examinations, as dogs love to dig the ground. Soil particles get into your pet's eyes and cause inflammation.
