Overview
The Thai Bangkaew Dog (Thai: ไทยบางแก้ว) is a dog breed from Thailand. It is a medium-sized spitz-type dog.
History
History: Bangkaew is a village located in the Bang Rakam District, Phitsanulok Province in the central region of Thailand. In this district, near the Yom River, a Buddhist abbot's local black and white female dog was crossed with a now extinct wild dog, producing the first of the breed. Since 1957, selective breeding from their single litters produced today's breed.
