The Thai Bangkaew Dog is a provisionally accepted by the FCI breed of dog from Thailand ( Group 5, Section 5, standard number 358).
Origin and History
The historical roots probably lie in Bangkaew village, located in the district of Bang Rakam the province of Phitsanulok.
Legend has it that the third abbot, all living things was fond of Wat Bangkaew Temple, the respected Luang Puh Maak Metharee, who was known for compassion and concern. An old villager named Tah Nim gave the abbot a big bitch with long black fur, which was said to be pregnant by a jackal. The puppies were long -haired of black and darker brown color. After birth, the abbot went to the four female puppies.
The breed standard is shown that the breed goes back to a cross between a black and white bitch of a local Buddhist monk and a now-extinct wild dog. 1957 began the systematic husbandry, from which today's race originated. From Phitsanulok, the breed spread throughout Thailand. On 14 April 2011, the FCI has provisionally recognized the breed.
