About the Central Asian Shepherd Dog

The Central Asian Shepherd Dog, also known as the Alabay, Alabai, Tobet, and Turkmen Wolfhound, is a livestock guardian dog breed. Traditionally, the breed was used for guarding sheep and goat herds, as well as to protect and for guard duty. In 1990, the State Agroindustrial Committee of Turkmenistan approved the standard of the Turkmen Wolf-Hound dog breed.
