The national category expert Katcnelson from Dnepropetrovsk wrote about Nik Han in the article "Property of Fatherland (or breeder’s nostalgia)" in the magazine “Your Dogs Business” issue 6-7/2000, http://www.petsinform.com/sd/sd7-00/nostalji.html

"…There is a trot, which named trailing. This pace has not audible motions of finiteness. This trot is characteristic for the German sheep-dogs. But the not many sheep-dogs go silently! The only one Asian sheep-dog moved in such manner in Moscow. A completely tremendous picture of the Asian sheep-dog motion. This is because completely special metatarsus’ position, which gives such softness. Indeed it’s a silent cat’s run! Nik-Han (owner Hegai, Tashkent) has such kind of pace. Nik-Han has shocked not only by his motion but with his purely deprived roughness chiseled alabay’s head too. An absolutely quiet sight, as well as general behavior. Not any aggressive motions, but at the same time full concentration on happening events. There is an impression, that the dog is connected with invisible chain to the handler (owner). Any acceleration of handler’s motion passes in a dog as a transmission. A completely harmonious command: handler and his dog. Nik-Han is a very large (near 32 inch) and full format dog. Length and volume of a chest are expedient shown. He has long, practically horizontal sleets. The forward and back finiteness haven’t a slightest error in a structure. The absolute balance of motions at once has moved this dog in the leader position. He makes an impression of manageable young lion. This is my own personal opinion."
