The Central Asia Shepherd Dog - one of the most ancient breeds on the ground which has kept till now initial appearance and surprising character. It their ancestors fighted on arenas of amphitheaters, and Alexander Macedonian used these dogs in the battles, and rendered with their help the big loss to the enemy. By the kept images these dogs are close on type to ancient mastiff. Mastiffs, mane mastiffs, in different places of them named differently, they have been brought in Persia Alexander Macedonian. And on Tibet already for a long time there were large local Tibetan dogs, descendants of the black Tibetan wolf. They were primitive, rough, crude, black or black - red color, possessed huge force. They had huge head, a short muzzle, crude lips, corrugations on a forehead, very dense rough wool and the tendency to a direct bite. In India and where in China widely used these dogs for security, on hunting, in army. Chinese applied them to hunting for people. In Europe they began to carry the name moloss. Formation of external shape moloss, occurred during the period named German philosopher - historian K.Jaspers, " axial time ", that is with 800 for 200 year up to AD.

The periods of occurrence of various forms of security breeds to which the group of dogs concerns moloss, have no precise time and territorial borders.

The following is possible to tell about the time fact of occurrence of these forms: the primitive breeds participating in formation of group moloss of dogs, most likely, are native breeds:

- basically in Ancient Greece in the middle of II millennium two types of dogs were determined: hunting and sentry with massive muscles.
- Etruria
- Ancient Rome
- The countries of the Ancient East (Mesopotamia, Persia, India)

Transitive forms of an intermediate stage have appeared in the West of Europe during IV century up to AD - IV-V centuries AD, in Ancient Greece IV century. up to AD, in Roman empire, the countries of Europe. Occurrence of breed forms moloss is marked in the middle of XIX century in territory of the different countries. All breeds were formed by means of mixture, and represent forms changing during selection.

Clean breeds - always only ideal types. We do not find out one breed from which there were all others.

The ultimate goal of a history of pets is definition of the wild parent form and a geographical establishment of the center of formation of each kind of pets. The further task - to track ways on which there was a distribution to the various grounds. As pets belong to the person and make extremely important part of his cultural property it is clear, that ways of their wanderings coincide with ways of wanderings of the person.

Similar to dogs of Assyria and Babylon, mastiffs very similar to them in the Himalaya area are known, is especial on the Tibetan plateau. The first data on dogs of Tibet, we find in traveling notes of Marko Polo. Traveling a note and publications about results of expedition of Prjevalskiy also give representation about native dogs of the Central Asia and Tibet. Research of Tibet by naturalists of Europe in XIX and the beginning of XX centuries for the first time have told about surprising huge dogs. Local residents divided} them on three kinds depending on the sizes:

In 1995 the fine atlas " Mastiffs and bulldogs " (authors A.I.Inshakov, E.G.Tsigelnitsky) has been issued. In it for the first time, attempt to divide the shepherd's dogs on subgroups in dependence not from a territorial belonging, and from their functional applicability is undertaken.
In group of the European security guards of herds have got Central Asia Shepherd Dog and the Mongolian Shepherd Dog (the direct relative "do-kyu "), and in group Mastiffs of the Western Europe have got disappearing Aryan moloss, Tibetan mastiff .

Types of Central Asia Shepherd Dogs:

1. Mountain type. Stocky, a strong constitution, hardy, a corner of back finiteness same, as at Tibetan Mastiff. This type during run, certainly, is not comparable with steppe type which has other corner of back finiteness. According to position and height of mountain regions, have longer wool. Thus on short-haired individuals there is a demand for attraction of such dogs to the dog duels.

2. Steppe type. Enough facilitated type of addition, fast in run, differ elastic, free movements.

3. Oasis - deserted type. As against the two first types, has a short wool.
