The photo of the Thai Ridgeback isn't correct, it's a photo that is most likely a Rhodesian Rdigeback. I haven't looked through all the posts to see if anyone picked up on that, just wanted to get potential Thai caretakers on the right path.
Thanks
I could add some: Iceland dog, Mudi, Puli, Harzer Fuchs, Gelbbacke, German Schafspudel and others. Difficult to safe them, as we all are adopting mutts. :-)
Extinction seems to be the fate of these old and highly secilised breeds. Times and circumstances are changing, so are dog breeds. Sad, of course but there are new ones like Bolonka Zwetna.
Thank You :)
Thanks, love them all, but I would never buy an animal, ALWAYS ADOPT!!!
stop over breeding and ADOPT. mutts are just as good (maybe even BETTER)

I love the corded coat of the Komondor. The Glen of Imaal Terrier is adorable, along with many of the other breeds. Although it's a shame that these breeds are scarce, at the same time I feel it[s very important to spay and neuter dogs, and to adopt dogs from shelters.
I am sorry to see how many people (not referring to you, Inari) still justify buying a breed with all that "I want exactly that standard" crap. Being obsessed is unhealthy for you and your dog.
I know a married couple whose motto is "I've had German Sheperds all my life, so I'll only have German Sheperds because it's the best dog in the world", as well as a woman who thinks that "Dobermanns are from another planet and other dogs cannot compare", so she will only choose Dobermanns.
Shallow people like that piss me off so much. Someone mature might say "Hey, I prefer Rottweilers because they are fit for me, I like their temper and we get along with each other very well", while an immature person says "Rottweilers are the best, other dogs suck, no question". See the difference?
Really, how can you be so certain that your new dog will be like the previous one? In fact, the couple's old German Sheperd was not particularly smart but very docile and obedient: the new one is extremely intelligent as well as aggressive and dominant. Each dog is unique and different, even those belonging to the same breed are not clones. More importantly, how can you claim that this breed is "the best in the world" if it's the only breed you've ever had...? It's ridiculous. Those obsessive, insecure people are so afraid of discovering and trying new, beautiful types of dogs that they stick with the same breed for all their miserable lives, instead of blessing themselves with an adopted dog.
