Contrary to its appearance, the North American Indian Dog (also called the NorthAID) is not a wolf, nor is it a wolf-dog hybrid. Instead, it is a rare dog breed that was developed in 1986 by breeder Mark Klemperer.

Until the mid-1900s, these dogs were often considered part of the older, more popular Coonhound and Foxhound breeds, but they eventually split into their own breeds at the request of breeders and owners. Today, they are some of the most popular hunting hounds used extensively on multiple games and quarries.

The Anatolian Shepherd Dog is believed to have descended from ancient war and hunting dogs of Mesopotamia, and ancient herding dogs of the Middle East. Today, the Anatolian Shepherd Dog’s exceptional flock-guardian capabilities are coming front and center, and they are growing in popularity.

Much of the Cairn Terrier’s popularity can be attributed the breed’s success in cinema. In the film adaption of The Wizard of Oz, the role Toto was played by a Cairn Terrier named Terry. Over the course of her film career, Terry performed alongside a number of A-list actors and starred in a total of sixteen films.

The Schillerstovare, or Schiller Hound, is a continental-type hound that was developed in Sweden. It is believed these dogs were developed from hounds that originated in southern Germany, and was later crossed to other Swiss Hounds and Harriers. They are named for Per Schiller, a Swedish farmer who exhibited the first of these dogs at a dog show back in 1907. The breed remains fairly rare outside of its native Sweden as of today, but it holds a steady following in his home country.
