Thai Ridgeback

The Thai Ridgeback might have existed naturally for centuries, but it wasn’t until about 350 years ago that humans domesticated them to guard, pull carts, and hunt down vermin. This headstrong-but-loyal breed was unheard of outside of its native Thailand. However, as of late, this dog is becoming more and more popular around the globe.

The breed is also known as Mah Thai Lang Ahn or Pariah Dogs. Although these are purebred dogs, you may still find them in shelters and rescues. Remember to adopt! Don’t shop if this is the breed for you.
