IzzyMy dog's name: Lakota Izabelle "Izzy"

My dog's breed(s): Native American Indian Dog


Hometown: Johnson, Vermont



How we met: I found the Native American Indian Dog at Terra Pines in Michigan when I was looking for a dog that would be a good pet for my children on the internet. ( http://www.terrapines.com/) I found this breed and fell in love instantly. I waited for the right one to come along, years actually. One day, there she was, my NAID. I knew it from the moment I saw here. She was to be mine.


What makes my dog special: Native American Indian Dog is a recreation of the breed that was almost extinct. It is a rare breed and making a come back.
"The Native American Indian Dog is a breed of dog that has been selectively bred to give the appearance and versatility of the original Native American Indian Dog (or a re-creation, you might say). There is no claim being made that these dogs have genuine Native American Indian dog bloodlines from the early days, however, the bloodlines of all the breeding stock at Terra Pines does have actual acquired Indian Dogs in their genetics. We acquired our original breeding dogs from the founding breeder. She originally acquired dogs from Indian Reservations in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho and Montana and selectively cross bred them with Malamute, German Shepherd, and Chinook to match the coloring, size and temperament as closely as possible to the dogs used by the tribes, based on available pictures and historical information from the Native Americans. Once she was satisfied with the temperament and versatility of the dogs, she acquired a US patent for the breed." - Terra Pines LLC


My dog's likes/dislikes: Izzy loves to spend time with the family and getting into mischief, although right now it seems like all I say is NO IZZY. She probably thinks her name is Noizzy. LOL She loves to play and go for walks. She loves the dog park and playing fetch. She is eager to please and always a joy to be around. She has unconditional love for everyone. She loves to play with our Husky Trinity. I don't think she likes the squirt bottle. When she is getting into trouble, this is the way we get her to stop. She used to get soaked in the beginning, but now, I rarely need to resort to such measures. LOL Check her ot on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/my_videos
