Temperamento
The Atlas Mountain Dog is known for its loyal and protective nature, making them excellent companions for families and livestock alike. They are naturally independent and can be reserved with strangers, but their affectionate side emerges with their loved ones. This breed has a moderate to high energy level, requiring regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. Their intelligence and strong work ethic make them eager learners, though they benefit from consistent training and socialization.
Consideraciones de Salud
The Atlas Mountain Dog, or Aidi, is generally a robust and healthy breed with a lifespan of around 10 to 12 years. However, like all breeds, it may be prone to certain health issues. Hip dysplasia is a common concern in large working breeds, and regular screenings can help detect this condition early. Additionally, some Aidis may develop elbow dysplasia or joint issues due to their active lifestyle. Regular veterinary checkups, a balanced diet, and maintaining a healthy weight can reduce the risk of such problems. The breed’s dense coat also requires attention to prevent skin infections or irritation, especially in warmer climates. Vaccinations, parasite prevention, and dental care are essential parts of preventive care to ensure long-term health.
