It’s one of the oldest dog breeds. Has less DNA in common than the Shiba Inu, but it’s number two last I checked. There’s paper floating around from a university in Hawaii that goes into more detail, but I couldn’t dig it up in a quick search. Will try to find it and reply with it when I have more time later.
