Christina Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Perro de Presa Canario .... no ears please too .... Look at that regal face That face just looks fugly to me :laugh: I don't wish for any more breeds in Australia. I wish we could preserve & care for the ones we have got as many will be dying out. I doubt my grandchildren will see a pedigree poodle when they grow up. They will see oodle with lots of stupid tagged on the beginning. So many beautiful pure breed pedigree dogs getting messed about with so people can have more variety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 And as far as I know Australia got every dog breed representative from around the world. No, there are quite a few rarer breeds that aren't here. I would like to see the Silken Windhound recognised by the AKC and then here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'd just be happy to be able to have an APBT. Move to the ACT. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I also like the polish lowland sheepdog but again a bit hairy! Ah, the PON is a delight. Have friends who migrated from Poland to the USA. They chose these as 'their' breed. I thought they had an OES! :) There are a handful of these dogs here.

Dame Aussie Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Windhound? Might have to look that one up sounds interesting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Windhound? Might have to look that one up sounds interesting!! Kind of a Whippet sized Borzoi look alike. Developed in the USA by a Borzoi person who wanted to create a smaller, coated sighthound. All the hairy ones are large :) Edited September 13, 2014 by Haredown Whippets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleksandr Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I think the owners who are experienced hunters in Russia would know what their dog was LOL. By the way I am a Husky owner and this was not a husky. According to my wife who's first language is Russian Lai is bark and Laiker is barker. Agree with that it is more as barker. :) But laika is also - Husky. What you seen in Kamchatka is real Mckoy of Husky. Out ther development and breeding of the breed is never stops according to local needs. They are more stronger, great stamina, can withstand very low temperatures, great hunters, etc... They probably are far more superior to Australian Huskies in qualities they need to live in Kamchatka. Local Husky in Australia is rather a show dog. While I agree that Volk is probably mixed, I asked them if he was a Husky and this is what they told me, no it is not a husky it is a Laika. So they seem to draw a distinction. My wife has a friend who races huskies in the Beringia so my info comes from what I have been told by hunters and professional racers, some of her sled dogs look like mine and others look very different. While I agree there has been a disheartening trend to breed shorter legged huskies for show in Australia, this is not always the case. My boy comes from racing stock and has nice long running legs. There are a number of breeders that bring in huskies or frozen semen from long running Iditarod champions as well. I am a born and raised in Siberia in small village where every one is just had to be a hunter. Locals you been asking most likely never heard of the name Husky. Have to say Laika is a great hunting dog specialising in Sable and Squirrels, but the same type of dogs using by local Yakuts and Chukchi to pull their luggage. Huskies that is. :) Yet to become a laika dog(any dog) just had to be a good hunter. Due to the climate conditions and demands for local dogs most of them are huskies. Also, you might want to read this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika Laika too mate! :) P.S. https://www.facebook...154059347981478 The local I was speaking to is my brother-in-law and he certainly knows what a husky is. Anyway, I don't need to read a wiki article on the Soviet space dog named Laika to qualify the info I got nor do I see the relevance to hunting dogs and pulling dogs. I also don't see how a Facebook page about a Husky named Laika has any relevance mate :D Either way, this is now veering too far off topic mate! :) wiki and fb page(Laika the Husky) just two more opinions that Lika can be any dog, as long as it burk to the right target. And yes you brother-in-law is right in regards to his dogs. Laika that is! :) But there is no such breed... It is a prestigious state of the hunting dog in Siberia! No hunter will sell that kind of dog to you for any money. Never mind. It is now way out of topic subject. :) Any photos of your dog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
