The Central Asian Ovcharka
does not need particular cares.
It is a robust and rustic dog
that well stands both the heat
and the cold, used by ages of frugal life
to eat and drink when it is possible
(it is obvious that we are referring
to a dog living in an half-wild state).
It is often treated like a teddy bear,
cuddled like a sofa-dog!
We must try to make our dog in the most natural way
possible, giving it abundant
but balanced meals, sometimes brushing it,
and if possible making it sleep outdoors
on a board, sheltered from the rain (and if it wants to sleep on the
ground and it will enjoy watching the rain,
never mind: when it will grow up
this habit will not be harmful for it,
on the contrary it will get a benefit for its fur).
We shall worry as less as possible
about its health that is normally very
strong and a bit more about its education.
This breed is usually easy to
train for the basic obedience and
with some subjects it is possible to get
good results also at a more advanced stage
of the training. The biggest problem
is to find a trainer able to bring out
the natural characteristics
of the dog without using
standard training methods, but having
as point of reference the specific
breed memory of the "P.dell'A.C."
A subject of this breed can give you
many satisfactions, but I think that
the most fascinating thing is
the similarity with the dog
of our childhood's fables:
big, great, reassuring, ready to run
when we ask for help!
