General Description: The Native American Indian Dog is a beautiful breed which has a similar look to the Siberian Husky and to wolves. An angular shaped head covered in fluffy fur starts off this beautiful dog. A long narrow muzzle leads to their medium sized black nose. Sitting on top of their head are two large erect ears. Leading to their deep chest and muscular body is a broad neck covered in lots of fur. Well muscled thighs are attached to short skinny hind legs. While the front legs are also skinny, they appear much longer. A long fluffy tail finishes off this gorgeous dog. Covering their body is a medium to long coat which is also very fluffy and soft. Their long coat can come in many colors and patterns but most contain white and black markings, as well as brown hues.
Character: The Native American Indian Dog is a playful and intelligent dog. Owners of this breed will get plenty of affection and devotion from these loveable dogs that are always eager to please. Often this breed is reserved with strangers but never aggressive unless their owner is threatened. Because they get along with all other animals, they are perfect for a farm or any animal loving home. Training is very simple with them because they will never disobey a command from an owner.
Size: 23 – 34 inches
Weight: 55 – 120 pounds
General Health: The Native American Indian Dog is a very healthy breed with no common diseases. Plus, these healthy dogs live long lives of 14-19 years.
History: Although a wonderful dog, the Native American Indian dog has become nearly extinct. They once were plentiful among Native Americans who used them to pull their property during moves and for hunting when they were settled. The dogs could also be trained to watch over the young, old, and frail in the tribe. Some of the dogs even played important roles in the tribes’ religious ceremonies.
Maintenance: Grooming is surprisingly easy for this fluffy coated dog. Brushing should be done occasionally and more frequently while they are shedding. However, baths and trims are not needed for this breed. Exercise is important to all breeds, but this breed is not as active as most people think. A long walk every day will keep this breed calm and happy inside the house.
Ideal Environment: The Native American Indian Dog is a great family dog but does not fit in with all households. Friendly with children and all animals, this breed is affectionate and loving with familiar people. An apartment will not suit this dog because a yard is necessary to make this breed happy. Training these intelligent dogs is enjoyable for the owner and the eager to please dog. Long walks or play sessions in a large yard will keep the Native American Indian Dog happy and healthy.
