The Hidden Canine Treasures Of Asia General Chat

The following article has just been sent to me and I found it fascinating. I hope it might iterest some of you.

While it is just another day out for most up to the minute dog breeds in almost any country on any given weekend, there are some breeds not given any thought to at all by most fanciers. As these weekends roll on toward being done and dusted, adjudicators thereto having weaved their magic over a countless number of exhibits, it is an unforgivable sin really to have not given any thought to those breeds not commonly seen every day unless one happens to be in their own country; breeds which are highly regarded by the local fanciers, in some cases honored by governments as a national treasure.

We seem to unknowingly, unwittingly, forget any other odd breed in the species unless, we are actually engaged in breeding, judging, or happen to be where they are in their own environment.

These are the Hidden Canine Treasures of Asia.

They comprise, The Thai Ridgeback, The Thai Bangkaew, The Mudhol Hounds of India, the Japanese Akita, the Taiwan Dog, The Jindo Dog of Korea, The Kintamani Bali Dog of Indonesia, and the four Native dogs of Vietnem. In recent times, some of these breeds have begun to make an impact on the end results at the highest level of the award system so often bestowed on those breeds regarded as well established, regular, popular, and well known.

When we take the words “well established” into perspective, it certainly becomes clear that perhaps we may have had the wrong end of the stick for some time so to speak. It is fact that these Asian treasures have in their own particular way been well established on at least equal footing with those breeds mostly regarded as long established and regular. We have really been in serious error; in short, simply been guilty of just not bothering to notice that there is more to this Asia than meets the eye.
