Aidi
Ook bekend als: Atlas Mountain Dog, Chien de l'Atlas, Kabyle Dog
The Aidi, also known as the Atlas Mountain Dog, is a primitive livestock guardian dog from Morocco's Atlas Mountains. This is not a 'pet' in the conventional sense - it's a working breed with retained hunting drive and intense territorial instincts. They were bred to guard nomadic camps from jackals and wolves, and to hunt alongside Sloughis.

Aandachtspunten voor Aidi
The Aidi views anything outside its family unit as a potential threat. This includes mail carriers, neighbors, and visiting children. Their default setting is suspicion, and they do not 'warm up' quickly.
High propensity for intolerance toward dogs of the same sex, emerging at social maturity (18-24 months). Can escalate to serious fighting if not managed with strict separation. A male Aidi with another male dog is a ticking time bomb.
As a survivalist breed from harsh environments, they may guard food, toys, or space with intensity. This is a genetic survival trait that makes them dangerous in households with toddlers.
They are not eager to please. If busy patrolling or investigating a scent, they will likely ignore you. They were bred to make autonomous decisions without human direction.
Aandachtspunten voor Boerboel
This is a primary failure mode. Many Boerboels, particularly males, will not tolerate another dog of the same sex in their household once they reach sexual maturity (18-24 months). This aggression is often sudden and severe.
Unlike a Golden Retriever who welcomes burglars, a Boerboel is naturally suspicious. Without extensive, ongoing socialization, this suspicion can escalate to fear-aggression or liability-inducing protective behavior.
Their dominant nature makes them prone to guarding food, toys, or even their owners. This requires an experienced handler who understands how to manage resource guarding without confrontation.

Aidi: Full predatory sequence intact (Orient-Eye-Stalk-Chase-Grab-Kill). Their hunting history with Sloughis means chase and flush instincts remain. In absence of Sloughi to finish, they may complete kill sequence on small animals. They are intelligent problem solvers but do not look to humans for permission.

Eigenaardigheden van Aidi
The Side Eye
Aidis constantly watch and observe you - this is assessment, not aggression. They are always monitoring the environment.
Tactile Sensitivity
They show affection by leaning or sitting on your foot, but often dislike being hugged or restrained.
Metabolic Off-Switch
Like lions, they conserve energy until a threat appears. Not hyperactive pacers like Malinois.
