Native American Village Dog Build Information
The Native American Village Dog (NAVD) is a cross between the Native American Indian dog and the German Shepherd. The NAVD is a large breed–expected to weigh between 70 to 90 pounds–and usually is found in black, black and tan, cream, gray, silver, white, and various combinations of these hues. Their markings are similar to those of the German Shepherd, but they have a slightly more petite, coyote-like face shape and build, inherited from the Native American Indian dog. They have a long snout, alert, pointed ears, and a long tail.
