This dog stays with Angora goats outdoors year-round, chasing away predators and human strangers. Along with size, the length and composition of the dog s coat needs to be considered. On the other hand, very short-coated dogs can t take ice, snow, or extreme winds, but they cool off quickly in hot weather. If you expect to work a long-coated dog during the summer, make sure it does get that trimming, but be alert to the fact that it simply may not be able to stand the heat very well, trimmed or not. A short-coated dog will need extra bedding and wind protection in its doghouse during the winter months.
Aggressive dogs come in big, medium, and small sizes.
Aggressive dogs are confident, assertive, quarrelsome, willing to fight, willing to bite when needed, and tend to be stubborn and harder to train. Unaggressive dogs just want to get along. They like everybody and will take a one-down position to even the youngest member of the family. Unaggressive is quite different than shy, by the way. A shy dog is actually an afraid or fearful animal and may be a snappy biter when put in a stressful situation.
