In animals, the blood of the Central Asian Shepherd Dog flows, and depending on the place of appearance of the breed type, there are steppe (dry) and mountain (heavy) alabai. Puppies are alaby at 2 months, just like adult dogs, have a flat forehead, broad and massive head. In this case, the transition from the muzzle to the forehead is not clearly expressed.
