10 Extinct Dog Breeds

In this video, we will look at 10 extinct dog breeds that you won’t believe actually existed. Turnspit Dog This small adorable breed was an essential part of every large kitchen in Britain in the 16th century. Before the days of electricity, it was the job of the Turnspit Dog to run tirelessly in a wheel, cooking meat on a spit, preventing it from staying in the same position for too long and burning. These dogs’ popularity declined rapidly and went extinct in the 19th century when spit turning became mechanized. Southern Hound This dog dates back to the 1400s in Wales and Southern England, it is one of the oldest recorded scent breeds. With a keen nose that could detect day-old trails, these dogs were effective deer and hare trackers. With the emergence of fox-hunting sport and importation of faster dogs, the Southern Hound frustrated hunters, so breeders began crossing their dogs with speedier canines. As a result, pure Southern Hounds started disappearing and became extinct around 1881. Russian Tracker The Russian Tracker was used for hundreds of years to protect and herd the flocks of the Indo-Aryan people in the snow-swept Caucasus Mountains. Reaching weights of 100 pounds and heights of almost 30 inches, this large dog was more than able to fight off the wolves and wild bears that plagued the local farmers. English White Terrier The English White Terrier, also known as the White English Terrier, has a rather unusual and unique history. Unlike other dogs at the time, this breed was exclusively bred for dog shows. It was created by dog breeders who wanted to make a pointy-eared version of the terrier. Sadly, inbreeding led to a myriad of genetic health issues and made them susceptible to a number of serious health and behavioral problems. Almost all English White Terriers were born either completely or partly deaf. As a result, within 30 years of appearing on the Kennel Club scene, the English White Terrier slipped into extinction. The breed was, however, crossbred with the Old English Bulldog giving rise to the Boston Terrier and Bull Terrier. Hawaiian Poi Dog The Hawaiian Poi dog was a pariah dog that roamed the tropical island of Hawaii. The Hawaiian Poi Dog was not used as a herder or a pet, and instead was seen as a source of food and also a good luck charm. Hawaiian natives used to fatten them up and eat them. Tweed Water Spaniel Taking their name from the River Tweed in Scotland, the Tweed Water Spaniel lived and worked along the Scottish border. These Spaniels had a curly short brown coat, long curly tails and droopy ears. They were classed as water dogs because they loved to swim and would happily work both in and out of the water. This breed is considered one of the parent breeds of the Golden Retriever. The Tweed Water Spaniel died out towards the end of the nineteenth century. Their numbers declined as they were being excessively used to produce Golden Retrievers. Kuri The Kuri was a small, short-legged animal. It had a unique appearance. Ancient Maori people described Kuris as dull and lazy dogs that were slow, had very little energy, and were unmotivated workers. Besides being kept as pets, these dogs were also raised for their fur and their leather. These dogs were also used for their meat which was considered a delicious delicacy. The Kuri dogs became extinct in the early 19th century because of excessive crossbreeding with imported European dogs. Sakhalin Husky The Sakhalin Husky holds the tenuous title of being the most recent dog to become extinct. It is largely agreed that the last breed member died in 2012. These dogs were utilized by the Soviet Army during World War II. But that affair was short-lived after Soviets found that these dogs were prodigious eaters of salmon, and their use was not worth the cost of keeping. So Soviets made the tragic decision to decrease their numbers significantly, starting a decline that put the breed in grave danger. Braque Du Puy The Braque du Puy originated in France. It was a speedy and sleek hunting dog that was popular in the French lowlands among both farmers and hunters. The Braque du Puy is believed to have gone extinct by the 1970s due to excessive crossbreeding and a lack of conservation efforts. This breed was one of the breeds that was negatively impacted by the World Wars Bullenbeisser A fierce-looking dog with a muscular and athletic body, the Bullenbeisser, also known as the German Bulldog, was used as a boar hunting dog. The Bullenbeisser did not disappear due to a decrease in popularity, but rather because it was crossbred to form a more familiar, contemporary breed. In this case, German breeders used the Bullenbeisser to create the Boxer by continuously crossbreeding it with the Old English Bulldog in the late 19th century. The success of this mating ultimately led to the Bullenbeisser’s demise, as the Boxer, quickly became the favorite of the two.
