Stephanie, are you sure it's a dog? or are you saying that the Native Americans in Washington and Oregon are dogs?

Yes it is a dog .They are a rare breed so they will probally cost alot.Have you looked into what kind of genetic testing should be done ? Find any breeders to speak to ? What will the dog be used for ? You need to fully understand what the dog is bred for and be willing to give this dog a job to do .If it doesnt have a job to do you will run into trouble.
