The Central Asian Shepherd Dog

Working Group - AKC Foundation Stock Service (FSS)

The Central Asian Shepherd Dog, also known as the Central Asian Ovtcharka, is a fearless guardian dog that will not back down. It requires a strong Alpha owner who is familiar with "flock guardianship". They mix well with family and enjoy a daily family interaction. They should be supervised when with children. They get along with other dogs and cats as long as the other animal acknowledges the "position" of the Central Asian. Shedding is a once a year "fur storm", usually in the spring when more grooming is necessary.

We STRONGLY recommend that you get your dog from a respectable breeder or rescue organization. Pet store puppies may get their dogs from Puppy Mills that normally breed only for profit, not quality or concern for the puppy or its eventual owner.

If you would like help locating a breeder or rescue agency near you please E-Mail PGAA ( ita408@comcast.net), and let us know your city/state and the type of dog you are looking for. Do not assume that PGAA has qualified all of the breeders or rescues on this site. Do your own check of each breeder or rescue -- be sure that you are comfortable with the organization before you buy, adopt or turn-over a dog.
