Africanis Personality

    Hoping to bring a canine into your home? Some canine breeds are easier to own than others, particularly for amateur dog parents.

    To find the easiest pet dog breeds to own, we had a look at a number of important attributes. And you might be amazed by the characteristics that matter most. You might think you want a smart dog. Highly intelligent dogs aren't always the simplest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's willingness to follow directions than his capability to understand them.

    You might expect an active dog will be the simplest to keep healthy. But a canine with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will actually be easier to handle. Additionally, choosing a dog with an easygoing temperament - and minimal grooming needs - will go a long way toward keeping you right-minded.

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow canine, you can't make a mistake with the bulldog. You can efficiently train your bulldog - particularly if you use lots of praise and incentives and maintain a sense of humor.

    5. Basset Hound - These medium-sized dogs aren't very energetic. And while most dog owners won't put the basset hound's hunting prowess to the test, they'll enjoy the breed's extreme patience with children.

Africanis Dog Traits

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.
