Getting to know the Thai Bangkaew
Origins & history
A story told
The Thai Bangkaew is an ancient breed, originating from the village of Bangkaew in the province of Phitsanulok in Thailand. Legend has it that the breed is the result of a cross between a black and white female dog, belonging to a Buddhist priest and a wild canine. The selection policy began in 1957. It is a popular breed in Thailand and the Bangkaew is considered a precious heritage of the province of Phitsanulok. The breed has been definitively recognized by the International Cynological Federation since June 2022.

Eyes of medium size are almond-shaped, black or dark brown in color. The ears appear small in proportion to the head, they are triangular in shape, held forward. The tail is plume-shaped and should be more pronounced in the male, carried curved above the back. The topcoat is straight and coarse while the undercoat is soft and dense. A ruff forms around the neck and shoulders. The accepted coats are lemon, red, fawn, fire or grey, with or without charred extremities and black. Symmetrical markings on the face are preferable.
