Yes, American indian dogs are a very interesting breed. They were actually almost extinct at one point. I believe there were only two dogs of the breed left. But they built a new breeding foundation and bred together several other breeds until they came up with dogs that looked and acted like the original American indian dog.

Here and here are some pics of them, including a pic of Topaz as this is his breeder's website.

Actually that's incorrect. There were more than 2 dogs around. I have been to Song Dogs kennel, and in fact they are not too far away from me, when I went to aquire about one of their Desert Lynx kittens. They keep the traits by selectively linebreeding. In fact, the American Indian dog is that of wild coyote blood and the mix of several generations of domestic dogs, and each cannot be exactly pinpointed anyway. Song Dog started with two dogs, which his stock is based on, but he is not the only breeder in Oregon and the US. There are still many other dogs out there, not just the two he started with. I can see you just read his article lol.

I've been studying these dogs for awhile and have spoke to many breeders, as originally after stumbling onto their site when searching for their cats I found great interest in this breed, and we are planning on getting a pup from them sometime in the next couple of years.


Here is their website:
