決める前に知っておくこと
Important behavioral traits that potential owners should understand:
吠えて引き下がる犬種とは異なり、アクバッシュは脅威に立ち向かうよう育てられています。専門的な社会化なしには、この「脅威」のカテゴリーが配達員、ゲスト、近隣住民にまで広がる可能性があります。疑いに対する閾値が低く、痛みや威圧に対する閾値が高い犬種です。
この犬種は生来夜行性です。夜間に縄張りをパトロールし、コヨーテ、木の葉のざわめき、遠くのサイレンなどに向かって大きく繰り返し吠えます。これは欠点ではなく特性ですが、騒音条例のある住宅街や近隣に住人がいる環境には不向きです。
アクバッシュ・ドッグ、特にオスは、同性の他の犬に対して激しい攻撃性を示す傾向があります。これは通常、社会的成熟期(生後18〜36ヶ月)に現れ、平和だった多頭飼い家庭が一夜にして戦場と化す可能性があります。
安全なフェンス(最低150〜180cm)で囲まれていない場合、アクバッシュは縄張りを広げようとします。パトロールする境界線を求めて何キロも放浪することが知られています。
