THE CANADIAN ESKIMO DOG - INUIT DOG - SLAUGHTERED IN THE 1960'S

As a Canadian I am ashamed how we treated the Inuit peoples and their beautiful dogs!

I don't understand the cruelty of humans to enable themselves to kill something so innocent, like a dog.

It was the hatred for the native inuit people that drove the slaughter of these magnificent dogs. It was done in an effort to hurt and isolate the inuit people by striking at the heart and soul of the people.

Stop showing me big dogs to fall in love with! I already want Huskies, St. Bernards & Great Pyrenees, and now Ovcharkas and these?!!!

Why on Earth would you slaughter such a beautiful and faithful dog ? I hope they make a comeback

They are gorgeous! And what a great woman, Rachel. Full of love about the breed and well informed about her breed. This was an amazing episode, thank you!!

I hope there are breeding programs being put into place for this breed. It has a long history and should be protected to get their numbers back up.

The slaughtering makes me ashamed to be Canadian. Such a beautiful breed of dog. Typical government behaviour for that time.

They almost look like wolves but fluffier.

how could they shoot such fluffballs? I adore them

One of my neighbours had one of these dogs and their yard borders on a walking path. The dog lived outside with a huge dog house and it came over to play with everyone who walked by. It was scary because it was so huge and hyper, until you realized that it loved people. I think it made friends with everyone in the neighbourhood lol.

Sounds like the government owes them more than an apology, this makes me so angry

Intentional killing, shooting the dogs instead of enforcing was easier then apologizing after the fact does nothing to erase the senseless brutality that occurred not only to the dogs but to the Inuit ppl themselves. Thank God for ppl like Rachel for reigniting the interest in these dogs by wrkn with them, educating the masses about these beautiful dogs. Leave it up to evil humans to slaughter them. Ignorance is a disease, evil is the result.

Thank you Anneka for presenting that breed whom I never heard of before. Lovely dog. His fur is so silky. So sad, this culling in the '60s. I hope the breed recovers gradually and is back to Canada, his land of origin.

Love at first sight but tears in the eyes because of that sad beautiful history. I have an icelandic and a hungarian sheepdog - love the nordic and and ancient breeds.

I honestly hope these dogs can thrive again in many years to come. I really enjoy your content as I find this very educational and interesting about the history of the different dog breeds.

In 1980's I worked up in the Beaufort Sea and met one these beautiful dogs. I asked the owner a local hunter hired by my employer to be a lookout, about his dog thinking it was a Malamute. We talked for a while about how friendly these dogs are which turned out to be true😊 told me the sorry story about my Gov. atrocity. The dog was black grey and white but also Huge! And only 1 yr old. When we parted the dog was leaping and barking the owner dug in the heels of his snow boots said something the dog waved goodby and they took off like a shot over the ice. A great memory👍😎

Such beautiful dogs! What a horrendous thing to slaughter such animals!

Man this lady has one of the most fun looking YouTube channels. She basically goes around the world and hangs out with the biggest dogs in the world.

Those dogs are very good looking.. Some of them are downright striking! Thank's for sharing this unique breed!
