Summary
About Barbet

About Central Asian Shepherd Dog
Ancient Central Asian livestock and property guardian: very large, powerful, calm and independent, deeply loyal to family but reserved with strangers. Needs early socialisation, firm experienced handling, secure space, moderate exercise, and regular grooming of its thick shedding coat.
