Are Africanis Dogs Aggressive To Strangers

    When it comes to picking a pet dog, you possibly want one that is friendly, whether that's toward people, other pets, or both. Essentially, a happy-go-lucky pooch that gets along with everyone.

    While most dogs are certainly fond of people, some are really sociable and love to meet new people all the time. Kindness doesn't necessarily depend on breed. The majority of dogs are friendly if they have been exposed to new people, places, and adventures as they were growing up.

    So, basically, you can make any dog into a friendly dog if you ensure they have an energetic social life and a happy home. Nearly all canines will be social with their owners, but some breeds were bred as guardians and can be wary and even threatening toward strangers.

Do Africanis Dogs Need to Be Groomed Regularly?

Africanis Information

The Africanis is a short-coated, medium-sized dog, well-muscled and slightly longer than tall. It can be of any colour and occasionally comes with a ridgeback.(Regarding the ridged back, according to the Africanis Society of South Africa: A ridge of varying form can exceptionally be seen on the back. It has sadly been established that this mutation can be associated with a dermoid sinus. Therefore, ‘ridged’ individuals are not recommended for breeding). There is also a wire-haired variety of the breed, but it is relatively rare. The height usually varies from 50 to 60 cm (with the tolerance of 2–3 cm).

The Africanis is well disposed without being obtrusive: a friendly dog showing watchful territorial behaviour. The breed is independent and territorial, but highly trainable. They can however, become grumpy as they grow older, and may also become quite difficult when kept with other dogs in a pack.
