In this country, alabais were kept separate from other animals. This is a breed that was not mixed, so its original form has been preserved. When people tended their flocks, they used dogs to protect them, as the dogs were needed to round up cattle. Later, life changed, and the dog became necessary mainly for defense and protection. The alabai served as an assistant on guard duty.

At that time, there were many wild beasts, and only this dog breed could offer protection from them. The main features of the alabai are its endurance and simplicity in food. Alabais are capable of working for a very long time to protect the herd from predators and therefore have very little time to feed. The dog is able to come to grips with the wolf. An alabai can survive on poor food and still remain strong. Weather is no obstacle for this dog.
