American Indian Dog It’s not a wolf, and it’s not a coyote; it’s an American Indian dog. known for its long, pointy ears, thick coat, intense stare, and impressive build. These working companion animals were almost lost to history after our American Indians were segregated onto reservations, and often left without the resources necessary to maintain the ancient breed. According to the experts at Animal Corner, the Native American Indian Dog is believed to be up to 30,000 years old. Yes, it's possible that the breed shared parts of North America with some of the earliest Native Americans to inhabit the land. Some specialists have theorized that the Native American Indian Dog breed could even be the missing link between wolves and the modern dog as we know it today.

The animal in the picture is not a wolf,head is different and chest too wide for a wolf. It does appear to have some wolflike traits,like the long legs and large feet.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Columbus reported that the dogs that the Arawaks had on the Antilles didn't bark. Pretty different than most dogs of today.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

That is a popular name, given to many Indian dogs!

I always heard they ate dogs. Not always, I believe it was the Cheyenne (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that used them with a travois as a beast of burden prior to the horse. And one of the northeast coast tribes had their own "breed" that was a bear guard dog to help them during the salmon runs plus it was a long hair wooly breed and supplied hair for weaving. But if times got tough.

Rez dogs a special specie that has adapted to living on the overflow of dumpsters Identified by their large hams and tasty backstrap.
