Know Before You Commit

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

CriticalAggressività Territoriale

L'Aidi considera tutto ciò che è al di fuori della sua unità familiare come una potenziale minaccia. Questo include postini, vicini e bambini in visita. La loro impostazione predefinita è la diffidenza, e non si 'scaldano' rapidamente.

CriticalAggressività tra Individui dello Stesso Sesso

Alta propensione all'intolleranza verso cani dello stesso sesso, che emerge alla maturità sociale (18-24 mesi). Può degenerare in scontri gravi se non si applica una separazione rigorosa. Un Aidi maschio con un altro cane maschio è una bomba a orologeria.

CriticalGuardia delle Risorse

Come razza di sopravvivenza di ambienti ostili, possono sorvegliare cibo, giocattoli o spazio con intensità. Questo è un tratto genetico di sopravvivenza che li rende pericolosi nelle famiglie con bambini piccoli.

ChallengeIndipendenza

Non sono ansiosi di compiacere. Se sono occupati a pattugliare o a investigare un odore, probabilmente ti ignoreranno. Sono stati allevati per prendere decisioni autonome senza la direzione umana.
