At Ironsmith Alabai, we are devoted to preserving the historically accurate, traditional Central Asian Shepherd dog.

Trends will come and go, but tradition is timeless. If you are interested in the true, historic Central Asian Shepherd dog bred right here in Ontario, Canada, you have come to the right place.
