Aidi Activity Requirements

Aidi dogs are an ancient, primitive breed of Asian herding dog. They are related to other livestock guardian breeds, including the Great Pyrenees and the Komondor, and are sometimes called “Asiatic Great Pyrenees”. Aidi dogs are not particularly active. They prefer to spend most of their time outdoors, but they don’t need a great deal of space. They can tolerate a range of temperatures, making them a good choice for people who like to hike, camp, or spend a lot of time outdoors. Aidi dogs are generally good with children, but they may try to herd them. It is important to supervise young children and teach them how to behave around the dog.
