Thanks, this was lovely and had some woolly dog pics I hadn’t seen before! There’s a bit of a different ending for them than is usually told. Unfortunately, the reason these dogs are extinct is a familiar one. The dogs were taken by the RCMP from the towns, and 😮tied to posts on the beach… where they shot them. There were a few who were missed, but not enough. If you get a chance, Senaqwila Wyss’ work on the subject is excellent!

Thanks for coming by our channel. As a dog lover it really saddened me that these lovely little dogs become extinct. I had also heard about the RCMP removing the dogs and putting them down, but I didn't put that in the video as I was unsure/unable to find evidence of that. Thanks so much for your comment!

So amazing! What cute Dog! This is a fun one for sure and I love all the history and info that you give as well as the historical photos! I can’t believe they used the dogs for their pelts! Unbelievable! Vancouver has so much history and beauty thank you for sharing it with us!

Glad you enjoyed it. The indigenous people really cared for the dogs and they were shorn like sheep for the wool (they didn't kill them).

A very unique part of history. Thank you for sharing that. The dogs are beautiful. Sad they got used for pelts at one time. Although there are still parts of the World where dogs are food sadly. Beautiful exposition. Very well done.

Thanks for watching! The dogs were shorn like sheep so they were not killed by the indigenous people. Unfortunately they did go extinct at the end. All the best to you for 2022!

I found this video while i was trying to find some info on woollys! Apparently my puppy’s uncle had a very small trace of wooly in him, which means that he might have some dna too! This video was really helpful for finding out some information, thank you for making this!

Thanks for watching! I really enjoyed your comment - it is sad that the Wooly dog is extinct as a purebred, but it is entirely possible bits of DNA are in some mixed breeds as you mentioned..

@@SaltyBeaverExplores no problem, and thank you! I totally agree, its so sad to see so many dog breeds that have been lost in time. It would be so cool if they could be brought back! We’re going to do a dna test on him eventually, so we can see if he has a small bit of that dna too!

@@SaltyBeaverExplores will do!! The ad said he was a border collie, lab, and wooly, but we don't know if that's 100% accurate. Either way, I'll let you know what we find out!

Wow! I had no idea about this history. I found the info about the Tahltan Bear Dog particularly interesting and how First Nations would use them to help with hunting. Fascinating and something you don't learn about very often.

The tahltan bear dog is not extinct!! We had a couple within our family, as of 3 years ago our last one “Lucy” passed away but a couple years before she passed away she had a litter of puppies which we gave away to family members (edit): this was way longer ago than I thought 2011 to be exact, only 2 are still alive out of 6 😢

Thanks for watching and your comment. I truly hope there are still purebred Tahltan dogs around! My research indicated that the Canadian Kennel Club had searched for purebreds and declared the dog extinct after the could not find any (though that there some mixed breed dogs in northern BC.). I know this is a controversial topic as many people as yourself say there are still purebreds put there.

It's hard to listen to a person talk about Natives used the wool from sheep because it was easier. It's not true back in 1876- 1956 First Nations weaving and arts were outlawed, they would be fined, jailed or harmed/ killed for practicing old ways. The police & the military took the dogs from our Elders they were never seen again the Elders told us they do not know what the police-military did with the dogs 😢 they were a victim of genocide, & them wanting to assimilate First Nations from the old ways that made us stronger.

Thanks for watching and your comment. It is a shame that indigenous culture was stripped away and outlawed. I did read, and heard, that the police or military killed the dogs, but I was not able to find any documentation to substantiate it (though that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen) so I did not include it in the video.
