Know Before You Commit

Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:

Challenge「ベルクロ」要因と分離不安

これは、全員が1日8〜10時間外出しているような家庭向けの犬ではありません。キーズホンドは荷船犬として繁殖され、船長と24時間狭いスペースで生活していました。常に人と一緒にいるよう遺伝的にプログラムされています。隔離のストレスは一般的で、長時間1人にされたキーズホンドは、絶え間なく吠えたり、破壊的になったり、神経症的な行動を発展させたりする可能性があります。

Challenge警戒吠え

キーズホンドは番犬であり、護衛犬ではありません。歴史的な仕事は、船長に異常なことを警告することでした。現代の家庭では、「異常」とは配達トラック、通りがかりの近所の人、またはパティオを吹き抜ける葉っぱを意味することがあります。彼らは声が大きく「おしゃべり」です。めったに攻撃的ではありませんが、早期に管理されない場合、薄い壁のアパートでは貫通するような吠え声が迷惑になることがあります。

Challenge被毛のメンテナンス

抜け毛は誰しも経験します。年に1〜2回「換毛」（アンダーコート全体を失う）し、ゴミ袋いっぱいの毛が出ます。換毛シーズン以外でも、二重コートは痛みを伴う毛玉を防ぐために毎週ラインブラッシング（皮膚までブラッシング）が必要です。これはかなりの時間的コミットメントです。
