KaiGSD&Cav Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Somehow i dont think it will ever be a "bogan" breed, not with the vast array of dogs with allready documented 'Reps' for "bogans" to choose from. In fact i dare say that such a rare and ancient breed would be well regarded, and looked after. Yes, and maybe quite expensive, I suppose it will be up to the people who bring them into the country to protect them, by way of screening buyers and desexing any pets that are sold.

And in one point of time the Shar Pei was considered exactly the same way, I remember as a kid the Pei was the 'Rarest Breed' in the world BYB's changed that.

NorthernStarPits Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Well i just dont hold any of those doomsday views, on this unique breed, if the time ever comes that it happens *which i dont think it ever will*, then that will be the time for any breeders or any associations to deal with it. Or as kaiser says, the initial breeders ( who i doubt very much would be 'bogans' in the first place ) will have to carefully screen buyers & homes to help prevent that sort of thing from happening, its all they can do.

peibe Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I agree Winterpaws, looks like a cross between a Ridgeback, Pharaoh Hound and a Shar Pei!! As you say though, each to their own, im sure there are many people out there that are not that fond of Whippets either! Interesting looking dogs though. I think they are unique looking but cannot say they are ugly due to owning Shar Pei which are an acquired taste They look alittle Basenji to me too Somehow i dont think it will ever be a "bogan" breed, not with the vast array of dogs with allready documented 'Reps' for "bogans" to choose from.

I agree, although the biggest problem Pei have recieved due to BYB is their easy marketing as "Roly Dog" being such adorable puppies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the far north Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 was in Thailand at an ALL Breeds Show and they had a Thai Ridgeback Specialty on at the same time...on mass these were a very impressive breed. The judge is not to place their hands on the dogs and they must be judged by eye only. All these dogs whilst well behaved for the breed on the day, are animals that should be treated with the utmost respect. The majority of them showed agression which is apparently part of the required attitude of the breed. Had a long discussion with breeders at the show, and they stated that the dog should be under firm control,and the more agressive they are the better the point system for them when being judged. Merits of this breed are that they are excellent guard dogs, but heaven forbid if the wrong people get hold of these dogs...we will be reading about attacks by the dozen in the newspapers. So in my limited knowledge of the breed, I just dont see the necessity of this breed in the average backyard, what its benefit to us would be.

DeltaCharlie Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I think if they were the only dogs left they could turn the Labrador into a monster A few places in the united states are looking at restrictions on labs, a friend of mine is worried she may lose her dog. It has come about after everyone has started registering their pitbulls as staffy x lab. The poor labs have now been sucked into the whole BSL issue over there so how long would it take before people start ruining that breed as well? As for the Thai Ridgeback, I don't actually mind the look of it. Cant say I love it or think it is gorgeous, but I like it alot better than many breeds. They dont compare to a border collie though I couldn't see myself ever owning one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2psinapod Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 After reading the post by the far north, I for one would not like to see the breed brought over here. As said a gazillion times before, 'we have way too many BSL problems here already', why add fuel to the fire It's all good and well to say only responsible people would own these dogs, but nothing is fool proof, just for an example, what if one of these dogs were stolen from a responsible owner, what then??

BJean Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Taken from WikiThai Ridgebacks are an intelligent breed. Due to isolation and lack of human contact, the Thai Ridgeback remains an independent and largely undomesticated breed. They are naturally protective of their home and family and can be aggressive with other dogs, as well as people. They are best kept by dominant owners who have a thorough understanding of dog behavior and aggression. Due to its largely undomesticated nature, the Thai Ridgeback is not recommended for the novice dog handler. They have an excellent jumping ability. And also this little gem If they are treated well and trained well they are not aggressive towards people. Fantastic!! Can't wait for that breed to reach the shores and the bogans line up for them most old breeds are like that. Not that I'd rely on wiki as a resource on any given day but unchanged breeds do have traits which require rearing mindful of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I find this kind of transported hysteria funny Goodness me! They really show dogs in cages? How can the judges get a proper assessment of conformation? Why have dogs so aggressive that no one can go near? I can understand a dog have a protective nature for use as a guard dog but to have to have it in a cage? If you don't mind lilli, I am rather intrigued, what breeds do they show in cages? I have heard about it before but never in any detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind lilli, I am rather intrigued, what breeds do they show in cages? I have heard about it before but never in any detail. it's a reflection of culture, lifestyle and breed expextations more than the breed(s). Dog are brought down from the mountains or from rural areas to the city for once a year special breed(s) shows. They are not trained to be show dogs the way a show dog in Australia may be nor are they exposed to strangers approaching them or socialised in that context. So what appears to an outsider as an untenable aggressive dog to not let the judge near it is normal behaviour for a dog in an unnatural environment. I have sent you PM of the breeds ETA: human / dog aggression is often bred out of many lines of tradiotional working breeds - I have read breeders bemoan about the Anatolian and I think wel maybe what you expect of it as a show dog is not what it was meant to be for? When I read the posted excerpt on thai dogs beng shown I thought, fantastic: they are exhibiting the dog without dumbing down its characterisitcs. If I see a show team of thais trotting around the ring in the future I will think: "there goes a thai in form but not in psyche - it has lost what is once was."

caffiend42 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Nice looking dogs. But a temperament like that is a ticking time bomb. Just what we all want - dog AND human aggressive I do not agree with BSL, but in this case, I think it's justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping you would find this topic. I believe you have said you will be desexing all pups that are sold, am correct in that? At least that is a first step towards stopping any backyard breeding IMO i think they are gorgeous. Fingers crossed for a succesful insemination and pregnancy. Cant wait for piccies!
