Tesem (Egypt)
Tweed Water Spaniel (United Kingdom)
Zanzibar Greyhound(Zanzibar)

The above dog breeds are commonly believed to be extinct. Very little has been written about them and the dates of their extinction are largely unknown. As with all creatures who become extinct, there can be a variety of reasons that a particular dog breed suddenly ceases to exist. Sometimes it’s physical- the result of a disease that a particular breed is susceptible to, or a weakness in their constitution that makes caring for them difficult, causing people to lose interest and instead focus on other breeds. Extinction can also be caused by drastic cultural change, such as when the Cuban Revolution almost rendered the adorable Havanese extinct. In Japan, the Akita almost became extinct due to excessive dogfighting during the Meiji period (the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century). This noble breed was threatened again during World War II when starving Japanese citizens relied on his meat to sustain them. But extinction isn’t always the result of calamity. The particular traits inherent in one dog breed may no longer be valued by society. Without active breeding programs, these domesticated animals no longer have viable populations. While certain breeds such as the New Guinea Singing Dog and the Manchester Terrier have been brought back from near extinction, many others are lost to history.

Vulnerable Native Breeds Rare Dogs BBC Country File

October 25, 2009 - 8:06 pm 25 Comments

Broadcast on the BBC 1 Country File show on Sunday 24th February at 11am was this piece on “rare” British and Irish breeds of dog, all of which are officially listed by the UK Kennel Club as “Vulnerable” because of their very low numbers. For example did you know that in 2007 there were just 36 Glen of Imaal Terriers born in the UK? Or just 37 Skye Terriers, a breed made famous by Greyfriars Bobby? Or just 41 Otterhounds, a breed which came over with William the Conquer and is one of our most ancient breeds? In all 15 of our rarest breeds were assembled for the BBC to film and these breeds were: (2007 Puppy totals in Brackets)
Glen of Imaal Terrier (36)
Skye Terrier (37)
Otterhound (41)
Sussex Spaniel (61)
Smooth Collie (63)
Sealyham Terrier (65)
Field Spaniel (67)
Welsh Corgi (Cardigan)(68)
Irish Red & White Setter (93)
Manchester Terrier (113)
Dandie Dinmont Terrier (124)
Norwich Terrier (128)
Lancashire Heeler (146)
Irish Water Spaniel (162)
Clumber Spaniel (223)
To put these numbers in perspective, in 2007 the Kennel Club registered over 45,000 Labradors!

The Countryfile program set out to highlight the plight these breeds find them selves in. The item was filmed at Cotswold Farm Park, near Cheltenham on Tuesday 12th February 2008 on a beautiful sunny winter’s day and as the farm is famed for its many rare breeds of livestock it was the perfect venue. The BBC presenter for the item is Miriam O’Reilly, whose credits include Farming Today, Costing the Earth, File on 4 and is a Country File regular. Two breeds get to be specially featured, Irish Water Spaniels retrieving from a lake and Glen of Imaal Terriers doing some rat work in a barn.

By the way – please don’t be put off by the claim that puppies from these breeds cost One Thousand pounds each – this in NOT the case. Most of these breeds cost no more than any other pedigree puppy, about £450 – £600, about the same as a pedigree Labrador for example!

If you have one of these very precious breeds, please post a comment and give this item a rating.
Thanks,
