[1]A Thai dog associated with Bangkaew village
The FCI standard places the breed’s origin in Bangkaew village in Thailand’s Phitsanulok province. It also records a traditional origin account involving a local black-and-white female dog and a now-extinct wild dog.
[1]A breed shaped by selective breeding in 1957
The FCI standard lists its utilization as a companion dog. It says selective breeding from single litters in 1957 produced the generations seen today, and that the breed is now bred throughout Thailand.
[1]A neck ruff and patches on white
The body is square and well proportioned, never low on the legs. The double coat forms a rich neck-and-shoulder ruff and a plumed tail. White is combined with clearly defined patches in black, red, fawn, tan, grey and other listed shades.
[1]Ideal height and head markings
The ideal FCI height is 46–55 cm for males and 41–50 cm for females. Patch shape and distribution may vary, but symmetrical head markings covering the eyes and ears are preferred.
