The
American Indian Dog
The Living Legend
Nobody knows where the Native Americans came from who lived in the North
part of America, but there are two theorys about where their dogs came
from;
First: The dogs came with the people from Asia or Second: the Native
Americans tamed and bred the coyote with these dogs But its sure that
these amazing Song Dogs already lived with the Native Americans 30,000
years ago,
The Indian Dogs were used as working dogs; for hunting,
sledge dog, pack-dog, herding dog, guard dog and even as babysitter.
The Native Americans used to cross from time to time some of the song
dogs with the coyote but you can not compare them to a recent hybrid
breeding; Indian Dogs are loyal, intelligent learn fast, active, sensitive,
and have a strong commitment to their owners.
Zoologists thought the Indian Dog was extinct around the 1900's but
luckily there were still a few dogs alive in reservations. Kim La Flamme
dedicated himself to save the Indian Dog against extinction. It took
about 30 years but he succeeded! Thanks to Kim La Flamme's very good
breeding program, these dogs still have the same natural and good character,
intelligence,
looks and health that they had many years ago living among the Native
Americans.
Now a days, these dogs are excellent sporting dogs too; like Flyball,
Agility, sled dogs, and rescue dogs Over the last few years, the Indian
Dogs have also came to Europe. In January of 1994, the first Indian
Dog came to Europe to the Netherlands. There are now about 50 Indian
Dogs in Holland.
People who are interested in these dogs should understand that these
dogs are not for everyone. People who love nature and want to protect
a bit of history, who can try to understand these dogs instincts and
natural health will be considered to share their life with these special
dogs.
