CHARACTER OF THE DOG

I consider it an offence to the canine race when

I hear: The bitch is so clever she can almost talk! statedthe female dog Aura rmly.

Oh, how sensitive you are, Aura Aurovna? said the

dog Mon honestly surprised.

While I communicate tens of meaningful things with

one look, people have to say tens of words to communicate

one stupid thing! said Aura.

Before we talk about the character of a Central Asian, please

rst think about our character, about yourself. I know it is a hard job.

Nevertheless, a moment of self-searching never hurt anybody and

since you are considering purchasing a Central Asian puppy it will

only be benecial. The only exception is my friend Vaclav once

he was searching his inner self and returned home after two days,totally drunk, without his apartment keys and ID. Nine months later

he was called to court to pay alimony for a child whose mother he


7/32

says never saw! Why do I tell you this? Maybe because he is also

a passionate dog lover. In a weak moment he conded to us that he

has a weak spot for bitches! Oh well, Vaclav will never change.

However, let us concentrate on the basic formula:

I + Central Asian pasture dog

Anybody who wants to raise a Central Asian dog must have,

for his own sake and that of the public, a clear idea about the

dogs specic character. The person must know what is possible to

require and what is not, and more importantly, what to expect from

the dog. An understanding of which requirements placed on the

dog are nonsensical, or even non-permissible, is necessary becausethey contradict its physical and psychological qualities. One must

be aware that he will have a hard time forcing this kind of dog to

do something against its will, which means against its nature. It is

very easy to turn a peaceloving dog into a wild animal. This meta-

morphosis can be brought about only, and I mean only, by man and

not by the dog.

Everyone who wants to breed or own a Central Asian mustcome to a non-distorted conclusion for himself of whether he is

able to communicate on an every day basis with the animal in the

same way as with an equal partner. And, unlike many of his closest

relations, the animal has a real personality.

He must evaluate if he will have the constant patience to

rectify the behavior and actions of a huge, dominant animal, not by

means of physical power but with the power of his reason, a bondof positive emotions, a kinship of souls and a resonance of mutual

consideration.

Character of the dog165

He must be able to honestly say to himself I am choleric,

a freak and a hot head. I feel like kicking something or somebody

quite often, or would like to kick out my employee, break my

mother in laws neck, shoot my wife to the Moon without a spacesuit, set my own run down house on re Such an individual has

a lot of work with controlling his own aggression. It is absolutely

wrong to add more worries or nerves with an Asian, Caucasian,

Rottweiler... Firstly his negative feelings and mental divergences

will be automatically transmitted to the animal causing it, not by

any fault of its own, to be worked, into an aggressive frenzy. Sec-

ondly, there is a serious risk of nancial penalties if the dog getsout of hand and bites or kills a stranger. A psychologically unstable

person can not bring up anything but a psychologically unstable

animal.

He must consider if he is capable of casting away the tradi-

tional view of dogs as subordinate creatures in all aspects. He must

also know if he is able to respect and worship a pure natural ele-

ment that if taken in good hands will serve him as the regulatedcourses of wild rivers serve man.

The owner of the Central Asian must not only love cats

but must understand their individual character and magic soul that

comes from being a not totally domesticated beast of prey living

close to man for hundreds of years. Why? Because the Central

Asian is rather more like a huge cat, a cat cunningly living in a

dogs skin! That is why! My many years of experience conrm that

owners of fantastically managed Central Asians and Caucasians

are not only enthusiastic dog fans but also cat people!

Let us be honest with ourselves at least once in our lives,

and if we come to the conclusion that we are not psychologically,

physically or nancially strong enough to keep such an animal, let

us not acquire it! It is not any shame to admit the above listed

circumstances vice-versa, it is much braver and more admirable

than pretending a scenario that does not exist, because the truth will

oat to the surface sooner or later anyway. The person who can


10/32

Irena Sehner 168

perfectly manage a stubborn Dachshund or a saphead Chow-Chow

is as admirable as the person who can perfectly manage a Central

Asian or a Caucasian.

Oh my God, my dog is an intellectual!

Dogs of this or that breed are real specialists for courses of

action in certain areas. If you re-qualify, for example, a Doberman

to become a pasture dog, and I can tell you this is a very demanding

job, it will never turn into an exemplary shepherd although it is

highly intelligent for work. As an instinctive guard it is perfect.

For example a Collie manifests an instinctive inclination towards

running around and herding a herd into a pile without training

even on the occasion when this herd is only the members of

the family who have gone on a Sunday stroll. Also, nobody


11/32


has to teach a Manchester terrier

how to catch mice, rats and other

gnawing pests because it is an

instinctive hunter who attackseverything that is small and

moving around in a con-

fused way. The Central

Asian is an instinctive

superb protector of a herd

or man. Regarding its work

intelligence the CentralAsian is actually a worka-

holic! However, it and it alone

can decide about the work effort.

You should also show your intel-

ligence, especially social intelligence,

and leave its paw free! Do not train it for

protection since this training only truly spoils its style and awakesan instinct, which is sleeping with only one eye closed, that man

is an aggressive creature because he is weak and cowardly. Recon-

cile yourself with the fact that the dog knows best when and with

what intensity to intervene. Reconcile yourself with the fact that

your Central Asian dog, although not trained, is quality in all cir-

cumstances.

The dog that has clearly dened and strong instinctive task

intelligence is also the most suitable for this activity. On the other

hand it does not have to be able to adapt to environments where its

natural behavior is not suitable or it is not required because it has

a lower adaptive intelligence (central Asian dogs and other natural

breeds). On the contrary, dogs without high instinctive intelligence

usually brim over with high adaptive intelligence and thanks to

this they usually behave perfectly in different situations and envi-

ronments where it is necessary to adapt quickly and change their

behavior based on needs (Doberman, Poodle). Therefore it is not


12/32

Irena Sehner 170

possible to bring up and train a dog of this or that breed in contra-

diction to its inborn abilities and skills. If you manage to complete

the trying training because you do not have anything else to do

anyhow its result will always be nothing special and temporary.

Your dogs behavior is what you deserve

The scheme of cause and effect works very precisely with

animals because their actions are not inhibited by, as it is with

people, Godly testaments, conventions, morals, societal protocols,

laws, fear of policemen, of the nancial ofce, fear, what would

neighbors, mother in law say The behavior of the dog in all its

deeds, are consequently marked by purely specic causes. While

analyzing the behavior of the dog it is also necessary to consider its

natural characteristics, which are formed by upbringing and train-

ing. This means by the inuence of people (conscious or uncon-

scious) and that of the environment it lives in.

Dogs needs and wishes are natural: those that are

created based on instinct. If we

go out for a stroll with Aura,

to which I call her attention

with the word walk (other

activities are dened

with equally appro-

priate terms such

as uriningaura),

it is her who

chooses one of

our many trails. It

is that easy to

fulll the modest

wish of a most

loyal girlfriend.

My mother had it more laborious when she used to make dough-

nuts for our German shepherd, who would go crazy for them.

Haryk told me that I should make doughnuts! wasannounced with the same commonplace tone as if my father had

wanted her to whip up some goulash. My mother never disap-

pointed little Haryk.

If your dog seems to be sleeping in its den like a hoopoe

it does not have to be as it appears. Its sense organs continuously

work and obtain much information from the surroundings. Aura,

when sleeping and also when fully conscious, sometimes remindsme of a living radar, very captious radar indeed. She easily catches

signals from alien civilizations and my transmission from the dis-

tance of several meters she overhears.

Man can not even imagine the amount of information that

he is unable to pick up with his senses but is being processed by

the brain of a deep sleeping dog: a local walked down the street

they are frying steaks in the next house Mr. Novak is coming homedrunk as a lord (beer, rum and grain alcohol) Mr. Dvorak is coming

home with three queens (mother, daughter and daughter in law);


14/32

and have a look at this; the biological clock announces to the dog

that it is 5 oclock or the time of the masters return from his job so

it means he gets up and moves towards the outside door.

I believe that different smells, sounds, feelings and visualimages crop up and take place in the consciousness of the dog,

which awake different emotions and behavior in the dog. I believe

that the dog has the same living color and broad screen dreams

like me and that Aura is even quite grateful to me if I, while she is

caught in the middle of some wild dream and she is squealing and

twitching her paws because the scoundrel wolves greatly outnum-

bered her, turn her over on her other side.Dogs are living organisms, living creatures, and their inter-

nal mental world is far from being bad off and is not just some


15/32


primitive copy of the internal world of a human being. The more

I learn about people and dogs the more I think the opposite is true.

I have believed for a long time that the internal world of

humans and the internal world of dogs, although they seems to gothrough a totally different dimensions, intersect each other at cer-

tain moments and sometimes even overlap.

I have started to believe that the internal world of many dogs

is richer and more soulful than the internal world of many people!

It is sufcient to observe a dog carefully and we can quite

easily recognize three types of behavior: instinctive behavior, beha-

vior obtained through upbringing and by training and the behavioras a result of elementary rational activity, which is described by

some specialists as a priori thinking.

Instincts

strength and power of Central Asians

Every human whelp must learn about the world step by step.

However, each puppy is a world of its own.

Every human whelp learns wisdom from books. Each puppy

carries its wisdom in its blood. People gave a special name to dog

wisdom instinct!

Instincts are complicated in born forms of behavior that are

particular to animals of this or that kind. They are elemental in the

ongoing changes in the nervous and hormonal systems controlled

by hypothalamus. The most important are instincts ensuring the

physical survival of the animal to which the instinct of self-preser-

vation comes rst.

Dogs of natural breeds do not take well or directly hate

being in a place that they deem as unsafe and that they have not

chosen as the safest themselves. If they are touched or someone

comes too close to them, with or without the agreement of their

master, the acceptable limits of security for the dog may be broken.


16/32

Irena Sehner 174

The response of the nervous dog is usually to either runaway, or in

the case of the Central Asian to make a defensive attack.

Based on the self-preservation instinct an orientation-search-

ing reex is established. The animal thoroughly studies a new situ-ation and is afraid of unknown objects unless it is convinced that

there is no threat. Not only a wolf living in the wilderness but also

a tamed wolf balks and runs away when it perceives even the slight-

est change in the surroundings that most dogs would not even reg-

ister.

The Central Asian immediately registers the slightest differ-

ence from the normal. A puppy is afraid of the unknown (animal,phenomena) but observes it from what is called the run-away dis-

tance. A female behaves with the same caution. Mighty sovereign

dog-male goes immediately to explore the novelty. Of what, of

whom should I be afraid you madcap? Of nothing and nobody!

The wheelbarrow that the bricklayers left on the sidewalk in

front of a pub induced terror in small Aura there is something in

the way that has never been here before and therefore it should notbe here at all unless it is waiting for us to cut our throats! And so

she sat down and waited to see whether the enemy would run away

after growling and giving a warning bark. In this case it meant

wheel away. Nothing! The enemy stayed atrociously in one place

because the bricklayers had not nished their drinks. It was clear

that the bag of cement would not move holding steady as con-

crete!

With the words: Aura, you little coward, just have a good

look. Im not afraid, I moved slowly but persistently so that she

would not consider me hotheaded towards the wheelbarrow.

Aura did not feel at all willingly to go towards the death.

However, her nature told her not to leave her Human and so she

was sneaking crouched down behind my heels. Only when I bravely

touched the passively lying sack of cement and NOTHING hap-

pened, she decided to sniff the alien. With the expression Of

course I told you there was nothing to be afraid of! she continued


17/32

on her journey. The self-preservation instinct is much stronger in

bitches than with male dogs.

The self-preservation instinct is also the foundation for the

instinct to economically manage energy (so called energy econ-

omy). Thanks to this instinct the animal does not exhaust itself

to the point that it would die but saves its energy as much as pos-

sible. The instinct of energy economy is especially particular toanimals living in the wilderness, which commonly go through long

periods of starvation and their journey for water often means tens


18/32

Irena Sehner 176

of kilometers. The function of this instinct is obvious in natural

dog breeds. The Central Asians belong among exemplary savers of

energy. When accompanying a herd they use every moment to rest.

In environments different from their ock of sheep the dog usuallylies calmly and watches the coming person with a calm to phleg-

matic expression and turns only its eyes to follow him. While the

body of the animal is in an absolutely calm state, its mind works

like a Swiss watch. It evaluates events that are going on and antici-

pates any coming action. A Central Asian at rest reminds me of

a TV switched off but there is a lm is being recorded to a video-

tape. From the electro-technical point of view I am on the level ofZulukafr, which means that I am honestly confounded with each

apparatus (beginning with a kitchen robot and ending with a lunar

rover). I am literally fascinated by the computer inside of the Cen-

tral Asians head and confused because I have not found a button

there.

Before I got used to Auras energy stashing away, I consid-

ered her behavior towards me offensive. I call her and she madam does not even bother to turn towards me. Aura, come here! and

she does not care at all as she can see and especially sniff I am

not going to give her anything to eat, and those banal things I am

going to tell her she can hear from the living room as well as from

the kitchen, so why should she get up! Aura, my white dove, you

drive me nuts!

More or less economically acting individuals get segregated

in dog packs, workers and idlers, while the dogs of natural

breeds really evoke the image of a troop of loafers. Perfectly accom-

modated to life in rough climatic conditions they thoughtfully

manage with the warmth created as a byproduct of their function-

ing organism. As it is known, the body temperature of dogs of big

breeds is 37,538,5 Centigrade and the animal tries to maintain

this temperature. It achieves this by producing more heat in cold

weather and gives off as little as possible; in hot weather the pro-

duction is brought to a minimum and the dog tries to dispose as


19/32

much of it as possible. I consider the so called leather bear mouth

muzzles, which rmly presses dogs mouths, while the poor dog

breaths only through its nose and can not keep evaporating through

the tongue an atrocity. In the summer heat you can kill the dog by

this otherwise fashionable muzzle. I do not know who produces

this type of muzzles and why they think they are suitable for dogs.I know only one suitable way to use these muzzles, which disables

the opening of the chops to distribute them in the Parliament and

Senate!

If the temperature of the air is higher than the temperature

of its body the dog moves as little as possible; it lies spread out

on its belly, sticks its tongue out and breaths faster so that it would

somehow cool itself down by evaporating the moisture from itstongue. On the contrary it moves more, consumes higher amounts

of food and it protects itself against coldness with thick downy hair

in the winter. If it lies down, it tries to occupy as little space as

possible it arches its back, draws all its limbs under its itself and

hides its nose under its back paws. It coils up into a little rm spot,

which prevents warmth from escaping and protects itself from the

outside coolness.The rst winter in Prague Aura used to sleep in a glassed

in balcony or in the hallway of the apartment. The little balcony


20/32

wasnt much warmer than the outside and the hallway, I had the

feeling, was not any warmer than the little balcony. She used to

lie curled up like a hedgehog in a little white rm ball and when

I spoke to her so that I would nd where she actually started and

where she ended a little black point of a nose would came out of

somewhere and somehow untangled from a wool ball as a wave

of warmth passed its breath across me. I was ying away as soon

as possible from the frosty balcony with light frostbite all over my


21/32


body followed by the entertained look of the dog miss from which

warmth and good humor was shining.

She spent only a minimal amount of time in the apartment

because it was overheated for her taste. She manifested summerdog behavior in an exemplary way she was breathing quickly and

was feverishly evaporating. She was lying at on her belly or was

spread out on her back, which is something that properly brought

up dog girls do not do, and she was outright ostentatiously show-

ing us that she suffers like a dog thanks to the fact that we did

not acquire very thick warm downy hair. So that we would not

look like sissies and outcasts in her eyes we heated the apartmentminimally and with strong colds, slowed down body functions and

totally frozen mental processes we survived to see the spring come.

My husband acquired a beard for this winter. I do not know really

if he succeed because this is unfortunately only snout under fur!

The instinct to deal with the heat economically and maintain

a consistent inner body temperature is a signicant feature espe-

cially of natural breeds.Also belonging to the group of instincts ensuring the phys-

ical survival of an animal are the hunting instinct, the nutrient

instinct and the protective instinct.

The second group of instincts consists of zoo-social instincts,

which help the animal become a rightful member of an animal

group similar to itself. These instincts can be implemented only by

living and working together with other individuals of the same kind.

In the collective appeal of the pack the animal rst nds itself in the

roll of a whelp. During this period the mechanism of imprinting is

initiated. This is a way of learning in which the whelp at a signi-

cantly sensitive age (4th7th week of life) creates the conception

of mother for the rest of its life. This learning takes place on the

basic sense level of sight, sound, touch and smell. Thus imprinting

is an inborn instinct through which the animal whelp very quickly,

almost at lightning speed, remembers the image of mother, if it is in

touch with her on a natural daily basis. Then it concentrates its zoo-


22/32

Irena Sehner 180

social behavior and sexual behavior on animals of the same kind

as its mother. The adult animal nds itself in the role of sexual part-

ner and parent. All parental instincts correspond with the particular

kind of animal whether in the role of the master of the territoryor as a foreigner, when the territorial instincts come into place, in

the role of a pack leader or as a member of the pack with a pro-

grammed in instinct of hierarchy, and also an instinct for maintain-

ing individual distance and an instinct for maintaining maximum

distance.

The third group of instincts is created by instincts aimed

at the future. The dominant instincts are instincts of freedom andorientation instincts: the need for movement, action, new sensati-

ons, and to learn habits which can become handy one day (open-


23/32



24/32

Irena Sehner 182

ing a refrigerator, pantry, cellar doors). Mon even adopted behavior

aimed at the political future: When you greet him, Honor to work,

comrade! he gives his right paw to the visitor. When you greet him

Hi, my friend! he gives you the left one. He never makes a mis-take.

These instincts are acquired by games and by imitating the

behavior of adult animals and later those of people. Through games

the whelps obtain habits necessary for life. Through games they

practice and make them more precise. To be able to develop these

instincts you need siblings and contemporaries. If a puppy does not

have the opportunity to play with furry friends, their place must betaken by a human, who should be professionally and psychologi-

cally prepared for this role as best as possible. Especially during the

imprinting stage the dog learns throughout the contact with people

to understand and mimic mans facial expressions and bodily move-

ments. It learns to accept his non-verbal signals (movement of

a hand, movement of eyes, whistling). With the maturing of the

animal a nerve mechanism, which is responsible for instinctivebehavior, matures in its brain. In connection with the physical devel-

opment the programs of sexual, aggressive and territorial behavior

mature after puberty.

An intelligent animal is able to learn throughout its entire

life. To increase the training of for example a Boxer or a Dachs-

hund after reaching the age of one year or so is very difcult if

not impossible. German shepherds, Labradors, Poodles, Doberman,

pinschers etc. possess a disposition to learn new bits, orders and

(then especially) entertaining things for their entire lives. They are

all and all clever dogs, which are able to skillfully join previously

learned practices with new ones. Thanks to your dogs you can com-

fort yourselves that you are not only surrounded by idiots.

How does it work with the Central Asians? The same as

with genius children. They drive you mad!

They hate monotonous activity (so they liven things up);

they learn everything quickly (but their master must not know about


25/32


it!); they are able to evaluate (phenomenon, events), compare (for

example size of goodies Aura always picks purely by accident

the biggest one); they can count (tomcats always regularly got

three baby-cookies. Nobody ever thought of taking the sweets from

the other one because it was fair that way everybody had the

same amount. However, Aura and Mon one day got by mistake


26/32

Irena Sehner 184

only two cookies. They

did not take the third one

from tomcats because to

pick from a weaker oneis not fair they stood in

front of me and waited

for me to correct my

arithmetical mistake).

They are able to

associate exactly and

quickly observe the con-nection among incen-

tives, which they accept

and the activities coming

from them. They are able

to anticipate what can be and what can not be expected

They can be quite bafed and totally nished (this state of

mind is technically called stress) because we, unlike them, do notknow what we want but we keep bothering unless we get it! Then

we are pissed off that we have it. I can tell you a proper dog would

get distemper!

Aura was able to sit without movement in the corner of the

garden and watch a German shepherd while he was training. It con-

sisted of an order: Come to me! then Sit! then Lie down!

then Bring it! Feeee a stick ew through the air, for which

the German shepherd, heart in hand, darted after and grabbed it

in his teeth. Bring it! another order sounded. The silly dog obe-

diently brought the stick. It was taken from him and instead of

a word of praise and reward an order followed: Sit down! then

Lie down!... After one hour all the orders sounded to me like:

Auf! Nieder! Auf! Nieder! AufneederaufneederaufneederDonner-

wetter!

For Gods sake, what is the bitch doing there? I was sur-

prised. Is she still entertained by this? I was shaking my head


27/32

because with the creative doggie girl this was a thing unheard of.

I was fed up by the training myself and in my head, like a pursu-ant wasp, only one idea was buzzing: One more minute and I will

go and cut this guys throat!

Little Auuraaa, I haave something! I saang to her like a

Great Trainer.

She did not even move.

Aura, come to me! I ordered to her like the greatest Trainer

of beasts of prey, Snake Charmer, and Ghost Buster of all times.She did not even move.

Aura, come here! COME HERE! I screamed in a craze


28/32

Irena Sehner 186

believing that she did not hear me. I was confused because of oureighty-year-old hard of hearing grandfather. I even waited for a

little while that maybe I would hear from the corner of the garden:

Did you say something my love? TANGIER? What happened with

Tangier? One of you is going to Tangier? If you sat home on your

ass you would be much better off!

She did not even move.

Maam what are you doing there! I asked with respect inmy voice.

She registered the formal way and change of tone and turned

her head towards me. I could see how confused she was from the

very bottom of her soul she did not know whether she should cry

or laugh at the ddling of the German shepherd!

Instincts are clearly set for each kind of animal. They evolve

only extremely slowly during the lives of hundreds of sequentialgenerations and only with great difculty do they adapt to the natu-

ral environment going though gradual evolution. Natural selection


29/32


is strict and does not allow animals with malfunctions in their inher-

ited programs of instincts to survive in nature.

Animals are not born with highly developed instincts.

Instincts, like every born in (unconditional) reex, must proceedthroughout these stages: maturing, xation and decline.

The group of instincts directed at the future is natural espe-

cially to young animals. Older animals more or less suppress these

instincts. These instincts depend very closely on and work under

the inuence of the function and activity of glands with internal

secretion producing hormones. Just as the intensity and time with

which and during which these glands work are individual, so arethe inuence of instincts for each animal.

So that you ladies would understand it better I will explain

it in another way but read it only quietly for yourself! Or you know

what? I will put it into brackets for you. (It works the same way


30/32

Irena Sehner 188

with men. The sexual potential depends on the working productiv-

ity of the sexual glands. If their activity is not keeping up with your

sex drive it does not help at all if you put your man down in your

marital bed, cast him further down by crying, hitting him, revile

him in a harsh way or choke him by the weight of your bosom! You

simply have to turn somewhere else for breeding purposes! And

that is it!)

An owner of a dog should always look to the meaning of

instincts strong incentives for behavior. It is always wrong to

punish a dog for its instinctive behavior although it may seem

unworthy of a civilized animal since we, and many times

unknowingly, personify the dog with our ideas and desires and


31/32


push them on it. In principle, we pull the animal down to the level

of human by which we hurt it because not every human is up to the

level that every dog is!

We see in our dog a close person that is missing from our

lives. Its a partner in dialog , a loyal discreet friend, which we

are missing. It is the only one who does not tell us that we blabnonsense and that we are dreamers removed from reality. The oppo-

site is true. It listens to us carefully and its admiring look means

only one thing: By God you are right as usual! You are simply a

genius! And because it is used to watching TV with its master it

barks out: It must be great to be great, my little clever screen, isnt

it?

When our child does not like to learn it is a delight to have adog that likes to learn! When your husband is hideous (huge beak,

fatty gut, crooked angora toothpicks for legs), how ennobling it is

to have a well built champion dog at home! If you come home from

work and you ask: Mother where are the kids? and she replies,

I am weeding the linen! how comforting it is to have a dog intel-

lectual at home. When the entire family is afraid of burglars, mur-

derers and mice, how encouraging it is to have a dog protector athome! All these requirements laid on a dog are fullled to the very

last point by the Central Asian kept with love!
