ATABRAI

I have been guardian to the Central Asian Shepherd Dog (CAS) for over 20 years. I have owned five of these beautiful girls and all have shown instinctive guarding qualities with the calmness required for their humans and charges alike. Our CAS are registered with ANKC/FCI. Not all my the girls achieved their show ring championship and all of them participated in obedience classes and some rally instruction. The breed is very intelligent and their flexibility means these activities are very easy for them, given their size. CAS are a livestock guardian, once you introduce and "train" them to protect your animals you can be secure in knowing they will be safe from predators. My girls adore their Pygmy Goats and the goats have full trust in the dogs to protect them. The CAS are a warm and loving member of the family but is a naturally suspicious breed so socialisation with regular visitors is a must. Even then it may be required for them to be placed in their safe place, an area away from the excitement.
