How we care about Central asian shepherd puppies from day one

This is our first litter born in Usa from our Russian import dogs,Safar and Aya.

 I want to tell a lil bit how I care about our Central asian puppies

 The day they were born-Mothers day 2017

We build nursery room for Aya`s litter in our barn. We also build a whelping box and ordered a plush alike floor cover for box.

Puppies staying most of the time with mother and do puppy thing- eat and sleep

I visit them several times a day and late evenings to check on them and touch them.

Mother don’t want to leave them for long time-so we feed here here in whelping room and take her outside for short breaks

Once puppies open eyes we start taking them to our house more often and let them stay with us .

I check their weight twice a week.

Puppies listen to radio 24 hours and it's mostly country:)

At 4 weeks old we taking them outside and let them stay with mother at fresh air. They exposed to noises as other dogs barking, engines, mower,rooster singing, and gun shots(we have some targets at property)and also fireworks from neighbor across our lake

They start to stay longer periods of time without mom and I feed them with blended dog food(Victor brand) and mix it with venison burger

We let our guests play with them and do alot of pictures and videos

Our other dogs interact with puppies as well. Safar, sire, love his kids and want to visit them every day.he lies in whelping box and let them crawl over him and even clean after them.he is good dad.

We let puppies stay outside in puppy gazebo with roof. They have an area to roam.they already prefer to NOt potty in the whelping box and wait till I take them outside.

I touch them , roll them over, hold upside down. I touched their feet from day one and I trim their sharp nails.

At 5 weeks old we introduced them to lake.some puppies made their feet wet. At six weeks old we let them swim under our supervision.

Mommy was very worried.

I spent about 4-5 hours day communicating with our dogs and puppies.

I take puppies on short car rides and let them explore our house more.

Puppies are brave, curious and not afraid of noises and people.

I'm a certified dog trainer and I see  on everyday basis,how many dogs could  be a  better pets or could be saved from being put down if owners would socialize them properly.

Please socialize your puppy so he can reach his potential and be a great Guardian dog and family member

I will always answer every of your questions about training and development, diet and activities.

Sincerely

Katerina Rekowski

Our puppies,Mothers day litter turned month on june 14.

we decided to present them photosession with professional photographer. All our central asian shepherds took part in it. they re all well socialized and confidient, not agressive to peopel who show no threat.

Dad take care of his puppies.

Safar is really liking his pups. every time he is around the whelping room- he ask us to open the door. We have to remove Aya, because she is protective.so Safar can enjoy time with his 4 kids.  he is gentle and even cleans them!

Central asian shepherd pregnancy

Our dog Aya is 42 days pregnant, today I found her digging under dog house. we have pebbles and hard clay soil  there,so it not easy to dig. you can see results of  few hours digging at pictures below.

Instincts telling her that she need to do it,like her ancestors did thousands years ago and even now in areas where central asian ovcharkas are habitats..

Holes for nesting puppiesare made by the females of the Central Asian Shepherd in natural conditions. The entrance to the hole is usually located in the shade, next to some kind of shelter (stone, wall,under building). The dimensions of the hole with the nest chamber, built in a very firm ground, can be shocking- it can accommodate an adult man without much inconvenience

Message to a Future central asian shepherd puppy owner

Central asian shepherd alabai puppies are truly cute, but they  require a lot of work and training.  Fluffy puppies grow up and if not trained and socialized  early and properly they will not develop into good companions and guardians.  When,we,Guardian dog kennel  place a puppy into your home we guarantee that it's temperament is sound.We will socialize puppy from early age and evaluate temperament for each.  When you bring your central asian ovcharka puppy to your  home you  are in charge of whether or not that temperament will stay sound.  Training for Alabai puppy begins the minute their eyes  an dears are open and ends the day they take their last breath! Please,remember this and take it into account before you commit to buying a Central asian shepherd puppy or any puppy!

I do  realize that sometimes due to unexpected  circumstances some families can no longer keep their dog. I`m  here to help. I can help with training and socializing,please ask me about options to train your puppy before it goes to you. I NEVER want any of dogs brought from our Kennel , going into a shelter or sold to someone else!  Nor do I want them just given away unless we approve  the new  home.  We will  take back any Central asian shepherd dog that we sell or help the owners to find a new home.

Here are some IMPORTANT things to take into consideration before buying a central asian shepherd puppy:

1)Our Central asian shepherd are half kennel half  house dogs .We bring them to our house on daily basis to communicate with us .We also spent time with them outside. We take them for a walks.we require our puppies to be a family pets (keeping the dog in a garage, chained , crate in barn,does not count).

2)If you work full time please don't contact me for a puppy unless you have a  Serious PLAN as to what you will do with your Central asian ovcharka puppy during the day.  Young pups cannot stay home all alone during a work day.   Please don't tell us that your previous dogs did this and were fine.  I am as certified dog trainer,  know that it`s NOT  fine and  we will not sell an alabai puppy into a home that is going to leave it unattended or locked in a room or crate for the day.  This is cruel!This is not fair.  Dogs are social animals and require human contact on daily basis.  Your  central asian shepherd puppy will not develop well if left alone for extended periods of time. Please, Look into a puppy day care program or hire a private sitter-dog walker to come into your home and have that in place BEFORE you contact us!  Yes I know this add an expense to having the dog but if you are unwilling to do this, then DON'T buy a dog or any animal that requires human contact for that matter.

3)If you rent please understand that you must provide  a copy of your lease showing that you are allowed to have a dog, specifically a large breed.  Also we have to speak to your landlord!

4)If you contact me because you want to surprise your wife(fiancee)kid,parents.. with a dog..please,.think again!  Its not Christmas gift-surprise. No Central asian shepherd puppy will be sold without everyone in the family knowing about this dog!

5)Please,LEARN about the breed! Central asian shepherds are not the breed for everyone!  While family friendly,calm ,good with kids, central asian shepherd is  too much dog for the first time owner.   Please,Ask me questions if you need more information.I provide lots of breed information at our website too.

While some phrases of what I say here may seem too harsh, please understand that it is for your benefit!  If what was said here made you think about, why you want a dog then it was written for  good.  There are just too many unwanted dogs in shelters because of people who buy without thinking or just by impulse..  If you love this ancient rare serious Central asian shepherd, please choose wisely and be sure you are ready for a Alabai puppy.  If after reading this, you feel you are not ready for a Central asian ovtcharka puppy yet, then please, talk to me.  As you move forward in your process of getting a central asian shepherd puppy, keep in mind that owning a dog is a life time commitment, and it can be up to a 12-15 year commitment.  If you cannot dedicate at least 12-15 years to a dog please don't get one.
