In the era of the Renaissance of the new epoch of the powerful state, all conditions are created to present the national art of dog breeding, the foundations of which were laid in ancient times. To develop this field in the country, the International Association "Türkmen alabaý itleri" was established, which creates opportunities for expanding international cooperation in these directions worldwide.

Respected dog breeders!
The purebred Alabais, nurtured by our ancestors over many centuries and becoming a universal value, have been tested as the best of all existing dog breeds on earth. Being a close friend and companion of humans, Turkmen Alabais have become a source of pride for our people.
The friendship and loyalty between people and Alabais are reflected in the works of our classical literature. In Alabais – the best examples of national selection – our courageous ancestors noted such traits as bravery, courage, and loyalty to humans. Turkmen Alabais are the grace of our ancient land, symbols and guardians of the sacred Turkmen hearth, an incomparable national pride.
