Basic Description: The CASD's are said to be the oldest known group of dogs in existence today. Dating back over 5,000 years as per Artifacts found in native lands. Unlike most breeds today they are not man made or created by any specific reason or country. They were created by the climate and culture of a uncivilized time long forgot. You will find different breed types depending on the terrain from the mountains of Mongolia to the deserts of the Kara Kum. Their history is merged with the civilization of man & their timeline can be found by tracing the history of the ancient silk route. To understand their past history you must understand a time when surviving one day against extreme climates, predators now extinct &d invading tribes was a goal not easily done. Today you will find Nomadic tribes using this pedigree groups of dogs to guard what they hold sacred, their family and their ancient form of transportation, be it Camel or horses. Wrongly classified as traditional Livestock guardians, they are territorial guardians bred to guard people & their possessions. They seek out human attention, thus bonding with their humans 1st & the flock 2nd. They guard what ever is place in their perceived territory. Superb pack oriented predator control dog, A Cat in Dogs clothing. X-large not Giant but agile, problem solving smart, attentive & affectionate naturally protective of all they call their own. A kindred spirit from a time long forgot.
