FoxFire FARMS PERFORMANCE Central Asians    Established 1996                                                        
                 Jeannine & Vincenzo De Palma is far from your typical Central Asian dog breeder.
  Unlike those breeding for just 1 purpose  & ignoring all form or function. 
The De Palmas prefer to focus on breeding the CASD as a True PERFORMANCE dog a TOTAL DOG.
FoxFire has won World, Regional & National Champion titles in every circuit consecutively since 98.
Beating all US & Import World Champion competition. 
                 Yet the real honor is the reminders of the lives they have saved.
The De Palma's one day will be remembered for bringing the breed to the forefront of the USA Dog Fancy.                        
By  retaining aboriginal bloodless that would otherwise be ignored by the modern breeders.
Sound  minds ,bodies & even temperaments are constants through the FoxFire's tapestry of performance
dominated bloodlines they are focusing on.     Believing that performance is the heart of the CASD.
                  FoxFire's  program focuses  on form to function , conformational attributes & user friendly dispositions.
                              They utilize traditional working bloodlines taken right off the working plains.
                                           All  FoxFire dogs are the best un related CAS working dogs .
                   Genetically & temperament tested & rated against the working standard by Russian Experts.(RKF)
   Since they feel it is detrimental to any small gene pool such as the CASD to start a breeding program based on inbreeding to one dog. 
                   Thus this outcross program by the De Palmas have produced much of the original size, color, structure & temperament
                                                of the ORIGINAL dogs of Central Asia vs the new breed emerging as a show dog.
                               The future is bright for the aboriginal DOGS of Central Asia thanks to the dedication of the  De Palmas.

                  In the 16 years of owning, working ,loving ,researching this breed 
                      FoxFire has earned the  #1 name in USA for the breed. 
               They have done it all and set the bar and the way CASD are breed
                                      As featured in the new Dog Bible 
They have had visits from Turkmen , Russian judges & natives of Central Asia.
Jeannine got the breed accepted by UKC in 2000 bred the 1st UKC champion in 2002. 
Owner bred handled the 1st UKC Grand Champion.
Their dogs are working & protecting new CAS owners thru out the USA as evident by the many happy references .
Mrs. De Palma founded the US National Provisional Breed Club that took the breed UKC and AKCFSS
to preserve the breed.  Her unwavering ethics in keeping the breed as a working pack oriented group of dogs
was the first of its kind. Despite heavy oppostion she succeded. 
This caused a serious division of working vs show breeders in the CAS as well as the CO.
She made history when she obtained a herd of Karakul's sheep. This breed hails from the same areas as the dogs do.
She is the only US breeder who removes dogs from her breeding program who do not retain the correct working temperament.
