Central Asian Shepherd Dog (Alabai) puppies for sale across Canada

Breed history

The Central Asian Shepherd Dog, or Alabai, is an ancient livestock guardian originating in the steppes of Central Asia, including countries like Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. For thousands of years, these dogs protected flocks from predators and human threats, developing a combination of size, strength, endurance, and independent judgment. Unlike modern show breeds, the Alabai was bred purely for function over appearance, resulting in a hardy, intelligent, and vigilant dog capable of surviving and working in extreme conditions. Today, they continue to serve as livestock guardians and protective family companions worldwide.
