Powerful and agile, the Aidi is a mountain dog that protects its owner and property with splendid courage. This rustic breed is from Morocco. A misnomer regarding this breed is that they were sheepdogs and tended to flocks. A 1963 breed standard had to be nullified in 1969 because it listed this dog as the Atlas Sheepdog.

Also called Atlas Shepherd, Chien de l'Atlas.
