    I do appreciate the help and anyone looking!

    Keeshond -WAY too furry.

    Alaskan Klee Kai - you're right... so not it. Too small and looks too much like a husky or Mal.

    Caucasian Shepherd Dog, Kavkazskaia, Caucasian Mountain Dog - Nope and nope. Seems too big and too St. Bernardish looking. and too furry.

    East Siberian Laika - That's they one i was thinking it looked closest to. Wrong tail though. It comes close in size, shape, and from the looks of it fur.

    They look so similar, yet all at the same time... NOT.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    Maybe this 'breed' is actually a cross breed, that has been given a fancy name?

    I tried going by the "sounds like" name, since I was just coming up with the same dogs everyone else did when trying to find Russian dogs, and I came up with a Sanshu, which is described as being similar to a large Shiba Inu or small Akita. The few pictures I found are very Shiba-looking.

    But I just thought I would mention it. They are listed as being very rare.

    I was wondering the same thing.

    As for the list... Yeah, i've seen it. Still, finding one small list online is like saying the only breeds in existence are the ones on the AKC's list. I figure over here in the states it's highly unlikely to know about all the breeds they have over there.
