Heritage Listing

[DogsAndTheMob]

An ABC item on the proposal to heritage list Swiss yodelling started me pondering. I believe that dogs as a species should be heritage listed, for many reasons, including their roles in various civilisations, and the fact that they were one of the earliest human "creations".

Which dog breeds do you think should be heritage listed, and why?

I think if dogs are heritage listed , then sheep/horses/cows/apples.... all that stuff should as well ;) humans probably could have survived without dogs - but not without grains & fruits ....

I don't think many of the tribal groups would have survived well at all without dogs. Look at how so many of them survived almost totally with the help of their dogs to protect their food source, hunt, tranport them and in some cases even clothe them.

Actic exploration would have next to impossible without dogs as well.

I don't know abpit heritage listing breeds but if it did happen I would pick the primitive and spitz breeds that have been around for thousands of years.
