BRIEF HISTORY:
In the times when Native Indian tribes inhabited North America, canines of unknown origins accompanied them. To prevent close inbreeding new blood was introduced from other tribes, which accounts for the different types of dogs described and portrayed in many historical books. The Northern Tribes developed a dog with a wolf-like appearance, and includes the Hare and Sioux type of Native Dog. Through the Western Regions, the smaller Plains Village Dog was developed. Dogs were the only beast of burden utilized by Native Americans before the Spaniards introduced the horse in the mid 1500′s and played a vital role in the lives and cultures of the First Americans. They depended on their dogs to assist them in anyway they might need for not only the individual family but also the entire village. Dogs of the nomadic tribes pulled a travois carrying the family’s belongings as they followed their food supply, dogs were used in the hunt for food, as faithful and protective watch dogs over the village, and even as “babysitters” for the children and elderly when the women were gathering roots, berries and herbs. Historical documents authorized by missionaries, trappers, explorers and entrepreneurs who recorded what life was like for the “Natives” and their dogs. Many included drawings, paintings and photographs. It is this documentation that the breed was founded.
At the core of all authentic Indian Dog breeds is the Native American Indian Dog ® (NAID). The Native American Indian Dog® is being selectively and carefully bred to recreate the appearance and versatility of the original dogs of Native Americans. The original Native American Indian Dog® was created from two Indian dogs from the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho and Montana. These dogs were bred with Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Chinook, and German Shepherd. When the appearance, characteristics and traits of the original dogs of Native Americans was realized, the dog was then trademarked with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
