Publisher's Synopsis
Originally from Thailand, the Bangkaew Thai Dog is also known as the Thai Bangkaew Dog or simply the Bangkaew. Dogs of this breed have a well-deserved reputation for loyalty, intelligence, and protectiveness. They serve as guard dogs and household pets alike. The Phitsanulok Province in Thailand is where the Bangkaew breed was originally developed, hence the breed's name.
The Thai Bangkaew Dog is recognizable by its sturdy build, muscularity, double coat that ranges in length from medium to long, and bushy tail that frequently curls over the dog's back. Their erect ears and "fox-like" appearance make them distinctive medium-sized dogs.
These canines are notoriously territorial and suspicious of strangers due to their protective nature. Their family-oriented nature makes them popular, but they can be wary of strangers. The health and happiness of dogs of this breed depends on early and consistent socialization and training.
The Thai Bangkaew Dog serves many functions in Thailand, including guarding and hunting. Their protective qualities are highly valued, and they are frequently employed in this capacity. While the breed enjoys widespread acclaim in its country of origin of Thailand, its international profile is much less developed.
