The people of Abyssinia are extremely intelligent and incredibly curious. They are intrepid and will explore every nook and crevice. Because of their propensity to seize anything that catch their eye, they are frequently referred to as “Aby-grabbys”. The exuberant Aby enjoys climbing and jumping. Have a selection of toys on hand to keep her amused, including brain-testing puzzle toys.
Nature
She seems to be constantly moving, yet occasionally she will stop and curl up next to you on the couch or in bed. Even though she is independent, she functions best when she has a fellow Aby buddy to match her high levels of activity while you are away. Abyssinians enjoy receiving attention from you and your polite children. They also get along well with dogs that are cat-friendly and other animals like big parrots and ferrets.
Trait
The skull of an Abyssinian is wedge-shaped but rounded, with wide ears and almond-shaped, gold- or green-hued eyes. Her thin, athletic physique is supported by fine-boned legs and is muscular and athletic.
Life
9 to 15 years
Colour Collection
The “ticked” coat of Abyssinians changes between bright and dark bands of colour on each hair shaft. Their warm glow makes them look like cougar-like wild cats. The coat is available in the four major colours of fawn, red, blue, and ruddy brown. However, some organisations do allow for more colours.
Hair fall
Weekly grooming is enough to keep your Aby’s coat in good condition, but to get rid of loose hair more quickly during shedding seasons, you might need to brush and bathe your dog more frequently.
