who knows what a Landrace type of dog is? Dog Breed Discussions
I was surprised (although I did spell it wrong) to find some breeders don't understand the term. What dose a Landrace breed of dog mean to you? If you do understand about landrace & sub breeds do you think we should be trying to breed a land race breed & it's sub breeds to fit a standard? Is it right to say several types are wrong & only include 1 in the standard & breed to reduces the different types within a land race breed?land race types are pure breeds in many causes but not all, DNA studies are being done at the moment to prove this. So are you saying all Tibetan mastiffs are cross breeds being that they are a land race breed? They are not but they are a land race breed with many sub types because where they come from the terrain is so hard going dogs would be isolated to certain areas so therefore each region has it's own types of tibetan mastiffs although nearly all evolved from the same core group of dogs originally.
