Africanis

The Africanis is a naturally developed landrace dog from southern Africa, prized for its adaptability and endurance. It has served local communities for centuries as a versatile hunting and guard dog. This breed typically exhibits a loyal and alert temperament, with a degree of independence that reflects its working heritage. Africanis dogs have short, dense coats that come in various colors and require minimal grooming. They thrive with regular exercise and mental stimulation, making them well-suited for active owners with ample space. While generally friendly with children and other dogs, early socialization is important. Due to their independent streak and exercise needs, they may be better suited for experienced dog owners rather than first-timers or apartment dwellers.
