<font face="Arial"><font color="#008000"><font face="Arial"><font color="#008000"><h2><font face="Times New Roman"><font color="#000000"><br/><font size="3">There are in fact one archaeological evidence that places the Central Asian Ovtcharka in the region long before the pictured Assyrian Mastiff. There have been found a little stone statue in Turkmenistan dated about 2000 B.C. This stone statue could easily be a pictured Central Aian Ovtcharka of today. Strebel, was not far away from the truth when he concluded after having consulted all known historical sources; "Next to the large and mostly dark colured dogs belonging to the Assyrians and Babylonians there existed a brighter and lighter dog used as a cattle dog and for hunting purposes. This breed, he concluded, must be called the Molossian." What Strebel suggested, without knowing it, was without doubt the Central Asian Ovtcharka, which as a breed offers to us the link between the early Molossers, the Assyrian Mastiff, the big flock guardian breeds, the mountain dogs and the European Mastiffs. This is a breed who have all neccesary characteristics that is required for developing into all the other Molosser breeds.<br/>Wynn wrote in 1886; "...if the history of the Asiatic Mastiff is briefly traced from the earliest times up to present. It would be difficult to denominate any precise home of the Asiatic Mastiff, or to give any more generic name to embrace the allophylian varieties than that from their distinctive features, they must at once be classified as belonging more or less to the Mastiff family. Their geographic position however have extended, and still extends from the Caucasian ranges through the valleys of the Elburz mountains, and onwards through the north of Turkistan to the Himalayas, and thence northwards over the vast area of Tibet, the Shan districts, Mongolia and Siberia."<br/>Wynn writes furthermore; "Colonel Rawlingson was inclined to think that the mastiffs sculptured on the Assyrian slabs were of the Thibetan breed. But they do not accord in peculiarities of feature with more modern speciments of that breed, and I am inclined to think that it is far more likely that these mastiffs sculptured on the Assyrian slabs etc. were a breed either existing in Assyria itself at that date or else were introduced from Sarmatia, Albania, Hyrcania, or Iberia, or some of those northern parts of Asia above Armenia."<br/>These early researchers conclusions on the origin of the Molossers soon got forgotten, overshadowed by the Tibetan theory and the fact Wynn points out for us -that the best imported speciments of the Asiatic Mastiff were from the Tibetan region. My conclusion is that the Central Asian Ovtcharka is the only possible ancestor to the Molosser breeds, based on natural distribution, archaeological findings, evelution of man and his livestock, and the fact that this breed is the living link between ALL other Molosser breeds.<br/>I am sure that in the years to come we will see more and more dog historicans, writers & authors that comes to the same conclusion as I have on the origin of the Molossers.</font></font></font></h2></font></font><font face="Times New Roman"><font color="#000000"><h2><br/><font size="3">There are in fact one archaeological evidence that places the Central Asian Ovtcharka in the region long before the pictured Assyrian Mastiff.
