alabai breeder's association
central asian shepherd
WELCOME TO THE ALABAI BREEDER'S ASSOCIATION.
The Central Asian Shepherd, better known as Alabai in many of the lands originally settled, are among a limited number of breeds that are not man-made in nature. Their history has been largely intertwined with that of the Silk Road. Due to their nomadic development however, there is still much to learn about the ancient breed's original path.
The Central Asian Shepherd Dog is considered the most ancient breed of dog. They became a breed through natural selection over the course of more than four thousand years, spreading their reach through the present-day Caspian Sea to China and from Southern Ural to Afghanistan. It is linked to the most ancient dogs of Tibet, Cattle Dogs of various nomad tribes and is closely related to the Mongolian Shepherd Dog and Tibetan Mastiff.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, they are on of man's most diverse dog breeds.
They are capable of livestock guardianship, protection and police work, general tasking, and make for good sporting dogs. Depending on what an owner seeks, various lines exist that may be suitable to varied purposes as well.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our club is focused on the preservation and improved health of the breed. As such, we are partnered with cutting edge laboratories such as Eurogen™ and Censa™ brands in providing comprehensive genetic testing, coat and colors panels, in addition to full radiology evaluations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are proud affiliates of both the SKA and SIKC.
Our members are highly encouraged to participate in both kennel clubs.
We will not register dogs active with SIH.
As a personal account, I am uncomfortable with their conduct and do not wish to associate.
All SIH-affiliated CAOs must apply through SIKC instead of the ABA and understand they do not have BC-affiliation.
