History
No sheepdog breed exists in the Atlas mountains. This Moroccan dog, probably originating in the Sahara, lives in the mountains and defends his owner and property from wildcats, but he has never worked as a flock guard. This explains why his 1963 standard, which was published under the name Atlas Sheepdog, was nullified in 1969. Some Aidi’s were introduced in France in 1992.
Description
This very rustic breed has remarkable power and agility. He is always on the alert and ready for action. He will protect his owner and loved ones from predators and strangers with great courage. This breed can even sniff out snakes. The sensitive, lively Aidi must receive firm, but kindly, training.
Advice
The Aidi can live indoors provided he gets exercise every day. Weekly brushing is required.
