My sister fell in love when we met a beautiful dog at a craft fair. Owner said he was an "American Indian Dog."
We go home, look it up.
1.) The American Indian Dogs look nothing like the guy's shaggy beast, but my sister apparently doesn't care.
2.) There doesn't seem to be any "official" info on them anywhere. The only gist I'm getting is that a lot of people sell dog/wolf hybrids and pass them off as American Indian Dogs. But beware, because these aren't "true" Am. Indian Dogs.
What are true Am. Indian dogs? Real ancestors from Am. Indians? If so, why isnt' that breed recognized anywhere? Why all the rumors that it's gone extinct?
It all smells extremely fishy to me, but I can't talk my sister out of it. It's been over a year now, and she's still determined to buy one someday. Here's a "breeder" she found:
