Know Before You Commit

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

CriticalTerritoriale Aggression

Der Aidi betrachtet alles außerhalb seiner Familieneinheit als potenzielle Bedrohung. Dazu gehören Postboten, Nachbarn und besuchende Kinder. Ihre Standardeinstellung ist Misstrauen, und sie 'tauen' nicht schnell auf.

CriticalAggression Gegenüber Gleichgeschlechtlichen

Hohe Neigung zur Intoleranz gegenüber Hunden des gleichen Geschlechts, die bei sozialer Reife (18-24 Monate) entsteht. Kann zu ernsthaften Kämpfen eskalieren, wenn keine strikte Trennung durchgesetzt wird. Ein männlicher Aidi mit einem anderen männlichen Hund ist eine Zeitbombe.

CriticalRessourcenbewachung

Als Überlebensrasse aus rauen Umgebungen können sie Futter, Spielzeug oder Platz intensiv bewachen. Dies ist ein genetisches Überlebensmerkmal, das sie in Haushalten mit Kleinkindern gefährlich macht.

ChallengeUnabhängigkeit

Sie sind nicht darauf aus zu gefallen. Wenn sie damit beschäftigt sind zu patrouillieren oder einem Geruch nachzugehen, werden sie Sie wahrscheinlich ignorieren. Sie wurden gezüchtet, um autonome Entscheidungen ohne menschliche Führung zu treffen.
