Today I saw this guard dog at my friend's ranch. They call him "Cute Pasha" ???? What a wonderful dog! Even though i love dogs, i didn't insist on letting him out of the cage to pet him. Believe me, even though he is very cute, I was afraid because of his size. It was a great to pet such a big dog even through the bars of the cage. and much safer(for me) ???? On one of the pictures you can see how big his paw is - the size of my palm! I searched the internet for more information about this breed. A truly impressive breed... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Asian_Shepherd_Dog
