Notes

The Central Asian Ovtcharka (can be translated to 'shepherd dog') has an immense area as its origin, and the type varies depending on where you are located. The dogs have been kept as herders and guardians, meaning they are often very independent with sharp temperaments.

The Central Asian Ovtcharka should be very powerful, rectangular in shape and can grow very large. The skull is broad and rather flat with little stop. The muzzle should be shorter than the skull. The ears are small and set low. The neck should be powerful, short and carried low. The chest is deep and rounded, sometimes reaching below the elbows. There should be only little tuck up. The tail is set high, in the home country docked. The coat can be long or short. In longhaired dogs, a ruff is formed around the neck.
