Sometime, perhaps
8,000 years ago, dogs of the southern/pariah type migrated across the
Bering Strait to the Western World with Asian travelers. These dogs spread
the length and breadth of the Hemisphere, laying the foundation for a
variety of types and breeds. In western Canada, the Tahltan Bear Dog was
of pure pariah type. In the Maritime Provinces to the east, "Indian
curs" contributed to the formation of the St. John's retrieving dogs.
They also probably formed the basis for the miniaturized and hairless
dogs of South America.
