My name is Kat , I immigrated from Russia to USA (OREGON) in 2012. The main reason why I have Central Asian Shepherd dogs because I had them all my life since I lived in Russia. Back to the past ( 2003 ) in Russia Central Asian Shepherd dogs were not so popular like now days. I bought my first CAS in 2003, for a guard patrol of our property & yard , but I had a child 3 years old  and it's another reason why I like CAS, because they are super gentle to small kids and not so hyper dogs with kids . My first CAS was a male, he was a super nice calm dog with strong guardian temperament . Then ,1 year later I got two females from famous kennel Grai Vest .  A lot of people ask me what is so unique about CAS ? , I can tell you it's more than dogs, I compared them like a dog with human brain, super smart, obey, calm, bold, not annoying and of course they are big dogs!!! My opinion is, people who once owned CAS ,they will always want another CAS dog .
