Aggression: 5/10
There are many types of aggression, but the aggression we refer to should not be confused with what most people consider an aggressive dog. None of our dogs are aggressive in that sense. Aggression in this context is a dog's innate drive to defend itself and its pack, reflected in its intensity when it believes its family is at risk. Note that a dog with higher aggression can be more dangerous.
Prey Drive: 6/10
Prey drive in a dog is the instinctive desire to capture prey, often seen in protection dogs as intense focus during play or biting. This reflects the dog's overall drive and determination.
Energy Level: 6/10
All of our dogs are from working lines, and they all require regular energy release to maintain their physical and mental well-being. This can be achieved through activities such as running, playing fetch, training sessions, hiking, or treadmill runs. Typically, healthy dogs benefit from 3-4 energy releases per week, and there are smart and easy ways to incorporate these activities into their routine. Lower-energy dogs will need less frequent activity.
Handler Sensitivity: 6/10
Handler sensitivity refers to how attuned a dog is to its handler. A highly sensitive dog is eager to please and anticipates commands, while a less handler-oriented dog tends to be more independent and requires different handling methods. Almost all working line dogs are still more handler-oriented than the average dog.
Territorial Drive: 0/10
Territorialism is an instinctual behavior in dogs where they perceive an area, such as your home or property, as their territory to defend against perceived threats. A highly territorial dog may attack someone entering the home, while a non-territorial dog may not react.
Social Level: 8/10
The social ability of a protection dog refers to its natural disposition towards people. While a highly social dog is inclined to meet and play with strangers, a more suspicious dog may see people as potential threats. All the dogs we sell are trained to remain neutral to their environment and are fully safe with their family and friends.
