American Indian Dog

[cookieface]

Having a natural "pack" mentality, the American Indian Dog forms a very strong bond with its family. Watchful and gentle with children, helpful and versatile with adults, this canine has a very mellow and serene spirit. Because of its strong protective instincts, the American Indian Dog can be slightly reserved around strangers.

The American Indian Dog can live as long as 18 years with few genetic health defects. It is fairly easy to groom as well, requiring just regular brushing. During spring and fall shedding seasons, it might require daily brushing.
Though it can be mellow, the American Indian Dog has an energetic and inquisitive side. Apartment living might not suit it very well. In addition to daily walks, the American Indian Dog needs time to run free in a protected area.
