Does the breed have a limited gene pool like other known breeds?
NO, unlike man made breeds such as the German Shepherd which have been created by the Hand of modern man. Whom selected Specific physical and behavior traits from different breeds and cross bred them to create a new breed more suitable for their present day needs. The Central Asian Shepherds are an Old Primitive breed developed through time with NO KNOWN breeds behind them. All we do have, is the History of the Tribes of Central Asia. Many areas have a wide diverse gene pool virtually left untouched by modern man. ** Thus there is NO legitimate reason to Mix this purebred with others to obtain Hybrid Vigor.
