The Native American Indian Dog (or NAID) is a dog breed sold in North America. It is reported to be related to husky, Malamute, Chinook,[1] and dogs from Indian reservations.[2] There have also been claims that there is recent wolf heritage in some of these dogs.[3] The Native American Indian Dog is frequently confused with others referred to as Indian dogs.

Breeders say they are attempting to recreate a type of dog of similar appearance to those shown in historical illustrations and photographs of dogs in native American villages, as well as from stories told by Native Americans about dogs owned by their ancestors, when available.[2][4]

In May 2008 a Native American Indian Dog was removed from a home in Michigan after local authorities suspected it of being a wolf-dog hybrid. The dog was later returned after tests and analysis were inconclusive either way.[1]

A three-day-old baby boy was critically injured in July 2009 after the family's Native American Indian Dog picked the baby out of his crib and carried him 150 yards away from the family's house. Animal control took the dog away from the scene.[3][5] The boy's father said the dog was "a Native American Indian" breed and said the breeder told him the dog's grandparentage as "90 percent wolf."[6]

According to information provided to Dogbreedinfo.com, the breed is described as instinctual and intelligent, cautious with strangers, but not vicious. They are not recommended for families with younger children as they are a large breed and may accidentally hurt them.[4]

Some breeders register the NAID with the National Kennel Club or United Canine Association, but NAIDs are not registered with any major kennel clubs or registries.[4] The American Kennel Club and United Kennel Club do not recognize the Native American Indian Dog as a breed.[6] There are only six breeders of the dog authorized by the founding breeder,[7] although there are other breeders with breeding stock from the founding breeder, with generally the same appearance.
