    Central Asian Shepherd

    Central Asian Shepherd Dogs are thought to be ancestors of the most ancient breed known today. They are extremely noble and proud looking dogs that over time have proved themselves to be loyal courageous and devoted companions. They are often known as the Central Asian Ovcharka and today these handsome large dogs are gaining popularity elsewhere in the world which includes here in the UK although at the present time they are not recognised as a breed by The Kennel Club (June 2016).
