Beginning in the 16 th century, European Boers began settling in South Africa. Along with the Boers came the dog breeds that they were accustomed to in Europe. Among the breeds were bloodhounds, pointers, mastiffs, Great Danes and several others. They soon learned that they would need dogs that could handle their new climate. They needed dogs that could operate in both temperature extremes while performing their occupations of hunting and guarding. To achieve this goal, they bred their imported dogs with a Hottentot tribal dog. This tribal dog had a distinctive “ridge” of fur along its spine.......... Find out more oabut this dog breed.
