The Turkmen people are known for their significant contribution to the material and cultural treasures of the world, preserving their national values throughout their ancient history. The Akhal-Tekke horses, Turkmen carpets, Turkmen Alabay dogs are our national values, which are formed at the level of unique art.

The Turkmen alabay dog belongs to the world-famous breed of dogs, which has been considered a loyal companion and friend from ancient times to the present day. It is the pride and inalienable protector of the nation. Its statues found in Altyndepe and Gonurdepe, Parthian rites depicting a dog found in ancient Nisa, paintings on the walls evidence about their roots in the history of mankind.
