In order to breed a new breed, breeders cross related individuals. As a result, a puppy is born with signs of breeding mating.
What are mestizos?
Alabai - Central Asian Shepherd. The appearance of mestizo depends on what breed crossed the breed. Excellent external and physical data are inherent in the cross between alabay and Caucasian shepherd dogs. This is a strong dog that has inherited power from the "Caucasian", its dense and beautiful coat. In the neck it is so thick that the head seems very large and round like a ball. From the other progenitor the beast got grace.
Paws of such an animal are strong. Some owners stop the tail of puppies. If you leave it, it will be fluffy and long in an adult dog. As for coat color, it can vary from white to dark brown. In this case, a darker shade will be present on the back, top of the head, tail and paws.
To predict the appearance of alabay, crossed with a German shepherd, is impossible. It all depends on which gene wins and becomes predominant. You do not even need to be an experienced dog handler not to understand which breeds took part in the mating. The traits of "German" and "Central Asian" are noticeable quite well. The adult individual has an impressive size. There may be a dark stripe on the back, the muzzle is also dark.
Thanks to the thick wool, such animals can be successfully kept outside. Half-eared ears and tail do not stop.
If the metisov alabay and kanes-korso dominate the gene of the Central Asian Shepherd Dog, the offspring grows large with thick fur. Massive square muzzle - a distinctive feature of the individual. Ears and tail stop in puppy age. The color is mostly dark.
Alabai and East-European Shepherd puppies - these are very fluffy kids with semi-persistent ukami. Growing up, dogs become more like an East European individual. The color of the coat on the face, ears and along the spine is darker than the main one. The tips of the legs may be white.
Crossed with the Central Asian Shepherd Tibetan Mastiff, it grows into a large individual. Powerful torso, large paws, thick hair, hanging ears are characteristic features of the cross. Color can be the most diverse: from black with white breast to red. It happens that the face, nose and forehead (in the middle) have a white color.
Mix with Moscow watchdog - a graceful dog with powerful and strong legs, broad chest and thick undercoat. The tail of such individuals docked. Ears are triangular, hanging. The inside of the paws, belly and chest can be completely white.
Metis alabaya and rottweiler has quite large forms. Its weight can reach 70 kg. This is a very beautiful dog, with thick long hair and half-hanging ears. The tail is docked at the request of the owner. Individuals of red color, in which the upper part of the body (back, sides and neck) are covered with black wool, look very impressive.
A cross with a husky inherits from alabya large physique. The color of wool, blue eyes, and triangular ears are a manifestation of the husky gene. The fur of this pet is dense.
Central Asian Shepherd, crossed with a Labrador, gives a good offspring. Adult individuals are somewhat less impressive than alabai. Dogs are characterized by playfulness and an active lifestyle. Distributed fawn coat color.
Shar-Pei gives alabay a legacy of the original color and manly character. This is a great watchdog with a powerful broad chest and massive paws.
But crossbreed with mongrel is completely unpredictable, regarding both the appearance and nature of the animal. The likelihood that the mongrels gene will prevail is quite high.
What character has?
The peculiarity of any mestizo is the unpredictability of character. Different breeds intersect, each of them has its own temperament. Whose gene will be predominant, it will become clear after some time has passed.
“Central Asian” is a balanced and faithful dog, a magnificent and courageous guard, negatively related to outsiders. As a result of crossing with a German shepherd, an individual is born that has activity. She is intelligent and focused on her master.
With such a dog is not afraid to walk in the dark, as it is able to protect the owner from the attempt of intruders.
If the genes of the Caucasian Shepherd Dog are taken over, then such a dog is characterized by disobedience and audacity. It will take a long educational process. The owner needs to show patience, will, so that the animal sees the leader in it. Beast will obey only the owner.
Especially unpredictable mestizas alabaya and husky. The nature of the latter is wayward. If such a dog is interested in something, curiosity will prevail, and at some point the dog will forget about the orders of the owner.
Care features
Metis have a thick and dense coat that needs constant care. Purchase a pet comb at a specialist store to regularly comb the beast. The procedure is especially necessary when the animal starts to molt. Combing wool prevents the formation of fallen lumps. The dog will not only have a beautiful appearance, but also feel comfortable. Bathe your pet once a month.
Use shampoo made for dogs to wash. It will not cause irritation or allergic reactions.
Metisla ala required physical activity. Outdoor games are necessary for him to keep himself in excellent physical shape. During walks, the animal can easily be attacked by parasites: fleas, ticks. To protect your pet from insects will help a special collar. If you do not have this, treat the dog with avian drops.
To prevent the dog from forming tartar, buy special bones. Such prophylaxis is definitely necessary for your pet.
Metis Alabai is usually a large beast, so keeping it in an apartment is not very convenient. Ideal option - a country or private house.

You can not feed the dog sweet, flour, fat and canned. Bones are necessary, but non-tubular are allowed. In this respect, beef are perfect. You can also give offal. The basis of natural nutrition is meat.
Upbringing and training
Métis of the Central Asian Shepherd Dog has an excellent reputation. This is a loyal friend of the family, a courageous protector and an excellent property keeper. However, all this is possible only with regular training and educational activities. Metisam needs more time and attention (in comparison with purebred alabai) from the host. Otherwise, the puppies will grow up either extremely aggressive and disobedient, or cowardly and do not understand the commands. If you do not have a sufficient level of knowledge for the training and education of your pet, contact the services of professional canine.
You need to deal with a puppy as soon as he gets into your home. It is impossible to postpone "for later" and wait for some convenient occasion. Otherwise, you simply miss the time, and the further process will be accompanied by difficulties. Puppy age is characterized by activity. Leave alone for a long time baby can not. Spoiled things and shoes, teeth marks on the furniture - all this awaits the owner, who has long been absent from home. The dog just brightened up his day, playing with everything that got him a tooth.
Gradually form a baby understanding of the prohibitions. They must have a solid basis and not be excessive. Use the encouragement method when the puppy has done what it takes. So you quickly let him know what is allowed and what is not. The dog in no case should not be afraid of you and understand that the owner is the leader.
Do not spoil the dog: it will become disobedient and uncontrollable. The process of re-education of such a dog is extremely complicated. Canine experts recommend taking a puppy of 2 months of age to the family. This is the period when the attachment of the baby to the host is formed.
Spend about an hour of training every day. Give orders with a confident tone so that the kid knows that the person is the leader.
Do not yell at the dog. She may perceive this as aggressive behavior, leading to an attack. Note that friendly hugs are not always clear to the animal. If your meeting with a friend is accompanied by such violent expressions of emotions, the animal will think that this is an attack and will begin to defend the host. In this regard, the first teams should be: “Phew”, “Cannot”, “Place”.
It is important to remember that there are no bad dogs. How a pet grows is almost entirely up to you. Patience, consistency, lack of blunders and, of course, good attitude towards your pet - that's all that is required of the owner.
