Sacred Song Indian Dogs

Dogs were the only beast of burden utilized by Native Americans before the Spaniards introduced the horse in the mid 1500's and played a vital role in the lives and cultures of the First Americans.  They depended on their dogs to assist them in anyway they might need for not only the individual family but also the entire village.  Dogs of the nomadic tribes pulled a travois carrying the family's belongings as they followed their food supply, dogs were used in the hunt for food, as faithful and protective watch dogs over the village, and even as "babysitters" for the children and elderly when the women were gathering roots, berries and herbs. Historical documents authored by missionaries, trappers, explorers and entrepreneurs recorded what life was like for the "Natives" and their dogs and many included drawings, paintings and photographs. It is upon this documentation that the breeds were founded.

  
The Native American Indian Dog ® was created by breeding two dogs from two separate reservations in the Sawtooth Mountains with Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Chinook and German Shepherd.  The Siberian Indian Dog adds a little more Siberian Husky to the bloodline.  This combination has produced a dog very similar in appearance and versatility to the original dogs of Native Americans.
