AINU DOG Breed: Temperament, Health Issues, Grooming and Living Conditions

Temperament: The Ainu has lots of wonderful characteristics and is a fearless, watchdog, defender, guarding and very courageous. This dog is intelligent and trains well. Here we have a dog that can also be gentle, loving the family and the home. This dog needs an owner to show great leadership and set standards, or it can become aggressive and stubborn.

This dog is not good to let off the lead around other animals. They can be good if raised with children but the children have to show leadership to the dog. Socializing this dog well will help the dog to be better with dogs and people. The Ainu needs walking daily at a moderate level to keep fit.

Health issues: The Ainu enjoys good health. As with any dog, it needs to be up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm preventatives, and de-wormings. I also suggest that you take your dog to the vet twice each year for a complete check-up, including a fecal exam.

Grooming: This coat is double and harsh and will need brushed and combed about twice each week.

Living conditions: This dog is unsuitable for apartment living. The Ainu needs a large area to run and play. This breed can live outside as the double coat will protect it from the harsher elements but I do suggest that you have a quality built dog house or kennel with dry bedding and of course as with any dog you have to watch the elements and make sure they don't get too hot or cold depending on the season.
