The Thai Bangkaew Dog is an Asian dog breed. It is a medium-sized Spitz-type dog.
Thai Bangkaew Dogs are alert and watchful, protective of home and family. Bangkaew are devoted to their masters but can be aloof with strangers. Agile and active, they are strong swimmers and voracious diggers. They are highly intelligent but can be stubborn and benefit from training. Positive reinforcement methods work best with this breed. It has been said that these dogs are mixed from a wolf, a fox and a normal house dog or a lab.
Appearance: The Thai Bangkaew Dog is compactly built
and square in profile. It is well proportioned, with a smooth
gait. The double coat consists of a short undercoat, with
longer guard hairs growing through it forming the outer coat.
The coat is thicker and longer around the neck, chest, and
back forming a lion-like ruff, which is more noticeable on
dogs than on bitches. The plumed tail is carried with moderate
upward curve over the back. The TBD comes in white with shades
of red, gray, brown, and black in a wide variety of patterns.

History: Bangkaew is a village located in the Bang
Rakam District, Phitsanulok Province in the central region of
Thailand. In this district, near the Yom River, there is a
monastery called Wat Bangkaew where it is believed that Thai
Bangkaew Dogs originated.
Legend has it that the third abbot of Wat Bangkaew Temple,
the respected Luang Puh Maak Metharee, was known for mercy and
care given to all living things. An old Bangkaew villager
named Tah Nim gave the abbot a large native bitch with long
black fur. Because she was pregnant, her mating may have been
to a jackal or dhole; the resulting litter produced longhaired
puppies of black and dark brown coloration. Luang Puh Maak
Metharee raised the resulting puppies, four females.
However it happened, it is believed that the abbot's dogs
mated with herding dogs belonging to the Song people of the
neighbouring village of Huay Chan. Local residents of the
houseboats along the Yom River took these dogs as their pets.
Seasonal rain produced flooding, a natural barrier that
excluded other dogs from contributing to the gene pool. The
inbreedings that took place led to the creation of the
purebred Thai Bangkaew Dogs. From then on the breed has been
selectively bred and has become one of the most favored
varieties of Thai dogs.
