People often ask, what breed is it? We don’t know, it’s an Africanis mix.
We sometimes know who mum is but dad… could be anything.
All dogs were bred for a purpose, over the years those genetics and traits and characteristics still exists.
What is an Africanis/ Africanis mix? Well… they one of the BEST!
This breed was bred to be a social, happy, undemanding and a healthy dog, they roamed in their communities and they sat alongside their owners fires at night, not so much for protection (because of the freedom, they not generally aggressive dogs) but more for company and for alerting them to any possible danger, they followed their owners for miles (they can put your step/ distance watch to shame) and they can run like the wind. They lived among cattle/goats and chickens, and they were (still are) incredibly social with other dogs, they called the streets their home, they were street wise and savvy, they tough and had to be resourceful. They are smart, observant and alert.
They are truly one of the most loyal of dogs.
They usually brown, just brown dogs, they blend… they usually all medium (knee height) grass / bush height.
Usually used for hunting, company and protection and just for their loyalty and friendly manners.
What does it matter what breed they are, they not a “breed” - a dog without papers & no linage is a mixed breed.
Their genetics and characteristics still exists to this day.
They boring brown dogs, the mixed breed dogs, the dogs who sit waiting to be adopted.
Why should you adopt them… read this again.
