The people of Turkmenistan are proud that on August 31, 2020, at the constituent assembly of the Türkmen Alabaý Itleri Association, an important event took place – granting to the Association international status. Through centuries the breed of the Turkmen dog has been improved both by natural and artificial selection. Therefore, for centuries it has retained its original exterior and a beautiful dense constitution, the shape of which has not changed for more than four thousand years. Being not choosy about his food, the alabay is endlessly loyal to its master and is always ready to help. At the genetic level, it absorbed skills of endurance, selfless protection of herds, round-the-clock service and timely warning of enemy approaching. At the same time, the habits of the alabay combine steadiness, kindness and charm.
Our country carefully preserves and respects the richest property of centuries. Today, the work on the breeding of the unique Turkmen breed, a loyal friend and human assistant, is organised at a high level. It is in the fearlessness, the willingness to carry out the service and to give life for the sake of saving flock from predators that the deep attachment and gratitude of the Turkmen people to the faithful and friendly Alabay lie.
