Whitney - Native American Indian Dog

Short History of the Breed:


NAID dogs are re creations of the type of dogs that traveled with the Native American people. It is highly doubtful that any "authentic" native dog are in existence today.

Physical Description & Size:

Full grown, they range from 50 to 100+ pounds. Coat colors may be solid colors, splash coated, spotted or agouti.

Temperament:

Native American Indian Dogs are very loyal to their families (packs). They can be quite shy and wary around strangers at first, especially men. NAIDs are, like their northern breed brethren, very intelligent and independent. They are generally more comfortable with other dogs than humans, and are usually very well-attuned to the social patterns of a pack.

Needs (exercise, grooming, diet):

Exercise: Most Native American Indian Dogs need moderate exercise.

Health Issues, Life Expectancy:

No known health issues. Native American Indian Dogs will live between 14 and 19 years.

Breed Recognition:

Native American Indian Dogs are recognized by the National Kennel Club (NKC) and the Certified Pet Registry.

I rescued Rosa when she was 5 months old. She was found next to a dumpster. She is now 1 1/2 years old. I've had 3 other dogs and she was by far the most challenging but has become the most wonderful dog. Love and training is all it takes. I used a shock collar on her twice and that's all it took. She has become the most lovable, sweet dog. Not a mean bone in that body. She now knows who is boss, who loves her, who feeds her and now wants to please me. She has sooooo much personality and you should see this dog jump! Wow. Her back feet hit the top of my 6 foot fence. It's incredible and she can sniff out anything. We walk in the park every night and she has incredible senses - all of them. She makes me laugh every day. She has soooo much spunk and has brought so much happiness back into my life. She is so incredibly beautiful too. I love her sooooooooo much!

I personally thought it was my worst pet purchase. I spent over a grand on the dog. I already own three dogs, and this dog is by far the most timid and unresponsive. In addition, the dog isn't very loyal and always tries to avoid me when I'm calling its name or getting its attention. I really hate to say it, but i think i made a big mistake buying this dog, even as a dog lover its hard for me to find any good traits in this dog.

We have been NAID owners now for about 3 months. Our puppy is just amazing! He grew really quick...be prepared for a big puppy! He is super smart and is very trainable. He is so eager to please. He is great with strangers and with other dogs. As with any puppy, PATIENCE is key. I can't stress that enough. No dog learns over night. It takes consistency and discipline. Our puppy enjoys the outdoors most of the day, and loves to come inside and be a part of the "pack" at night. If you train and treat these NAID (wolf hybrids) as you would train and treat any dog, you will have a great family pet. For those people that claim their dogs were unresponsive and not loyal... I don't think its right to blame the breed or the breeder. Maybe the problem is with the owner? I'm just saying...;)
