ขอแสดงความเสียใจด้วยนะครับ

ขอแสดงความเสียใจด้วย  เด็กน้อยต้องไปดีแน่ๆ  เขาได้ทำหน้าที่ของเขาด้วยความซื่อสัตย์  

          ทุกวันนี้กลับบ้านค่ำๆ  หรือกลางคืนจะกลัวมาก  พอเด็กๆ(หมา)มารับแม่ที่หน้าประตู ก็รู้สึกดีใจ  รู้ว่าตัวเองปลอดภัยแน่นอน

นานๆจะมีข่าวบางแก้วกัดขโมย  ไม่รู้จะเป็นข่าวหน้าหนึ่งหรือเปล่า

ทีบางแก้วกัดเด็ก  ก็เป็นข่าวใหญ่  ใช่บางแก้วหรือป่าวก็ไม่รู้   นักข่าวชอบเหมาเป็นบางแก้วไปเสียหมด

ฝาก จขกท  ช่วยนำเรื่องดีๆของเพื่อนสี่ขาไม่ว่าจะเป็นล็อตผู้พลีชีพ หลังอานผู้บาดเจ็บ และ บางแก้วผู้ซื่อสัตย์ บอกกล่าวให้สื่อมวลชนได้รับรู้  นำไปออกทีวี นสพ ด้วยนะครับ

ชาช่าขอแสดงความเสียใจและไว้อาลัยแด่ตี๋ใหญ่ด้วยค่ะ น้องเค้าทำหน้าที่ได้สุดยอดค่ะ

ขอแสดงความเสียใจด้วยนะค่ะ เจ้าตี๋ใหญ่หมาผู้กล้าหาญ และชื่นชมหมาบางแก้ว

ที่กล้าเข้าไปสู้กับขโมยนับถือจริง ๆ ค่ะ เก่งมาก มาก นี่แหละค่ะ

เขาถึงว่าเค้าเป็นเพื่อนผู้จงรักภักดีต่อเจ้าของ และปกป้องเจ้าของด้วยชีวิต

กล้าหาญดีค่ะ

โอ้โห เท่ห์จังเลยคับ ยังไงก็ขอให้พี่หลังอานหายเร็ว ๆ นะคับ ไว้อาลัยกับพี่ตี๋ใหญ่ด้วย แม่อ่านเรื่องของพี่แล้วน้ำตาคลอ สงสารตี๋ใหญ่ (แม่มีตังค์เป็นงี้ประจำแหละคับเห็นหมาใครตายไม่ได้ ไอ้ทีผมกัดไก่ตาย ฟาดเอาฟาดเอา)

** หมาที่กัดเด็กรู้สึกว่าจะเป็นแค่ผสมบางแก้ว นะคับ บางแก้วอย่างพวกเราฉลาดแล้วเชื่องจะตาย **

มีตังค์เด็กเชียงใหม่คับ

ชาติก่อนคงตายตอนเมา  ดื่มเหล้ายาเป็นอาจิณ   ชาตินี้เลยเกิดมาแบบนี้   ตายแล้วเกิดใหม่ทันทีนิสัยจะไม่เปลี่ยน   อีกอย่าง  อยู่กับเจ้าของที่ละเมิดศีลข้อ 5 ตลอดชีวิต ก็แบบนี้แหละ   เป็นกรรมของหมา   โอกาสจะพัฒนาการเกิดใหม่ให้สูงขึ้นก็ยากยิ่งขึ้น  อย่างเด็กน้อยที่จำเรื่องนั้น เรื่องนี้ได้   หรือว่ามีพรสวรรค์บางอย่างก็เช่นกัน  ติดตัวมาได้ก็เพราะตายแล้วเกิดเลยนั่นแหละ

Bangkaew

A magnificent Thai breed of dog

Despite the Bangkaew not being a registered dog pedigree outside of Thailand, I'm sure there is not a Thai national who wouldn't argue that it deserves to be pedigreed and given pure-bred status. The Bangkaew is almost as much a national treasure as the elephant; but it is also very much a mystery to many, including many Thais.

History of Thai Bangkaew

According to the Thai Bangkaew Showcase's site, at tinyurl.com/mjoejd , the Thai Bangkaew dog is a very old breed that was first bred in Bangkaew village, which is located in the Thanang-ngam area of the Bang Rakam district in Phitsanulok province, Thailand.

The breed traces its ancestry back to Wat Bangkaew, a temple in the same Bangkaew village. Ages ago, Luang Poh (Abbot) Maak Metharee kept many animals, including dogs.

An old villager named Tah Nim gave the abbot a Thai bitch, which had long black hair. It became pregnant, but as there were no male dogs around because of the heavy flooding in the vicinity of the temple, the abbot assumed the father of the four female puppies must be a dhole (wild Thai dog) or a jackal. Resent chromosome studies confirm that the Bangkaew is the result of cross-breeding with a jackal.

When the four female puppies raised by the abbot came into oestrus (heat), the returning high flood waters made it unlikely that any other dogs contributed to the gene pool. Therefore, interbreeding continued among the Bangkaew dogs, eventually resulting in a "pure" strain.

After many generations, we have the Bangkaew that we know and love today. Many Thais cherish the Bangkaew, but others fear the breed because it has gained the reputation of being fearless, very territorial, and aggressive to the point of being vicious, some would argue.

In 1957, according to the Kennel Club of Thailand's website, at tinyurl.com/nwsnra, a formal selective breeding programme was launched and continues to produce the better-bred animals of today. The dogs are bred throughout the province of Phitsanulok and its people regard the Bangkaew as a precious part of their heritage.

What constitutes a pedigree

A pedigreed animal is one that has its ancestry recorded. Often this is tracked by a major registry. Sometimes the word purebred is used synonymously with pedigreed, but purebred refers to the animal having a known ancestry, and pedigree refers to the written record of breeding; however, not all purebred animals have their lineage properly recorded.

One reason the Thai Bangkaew is not classed as a pedigreed dog outside Thailand is that the rules and regulations that govern pedigree are set by the kennel clubs in each country. Wherever dogs are bred for show, as is the case of the famous dog show, Crufts, the dogs must be in compliance with the governing rules of the sponsoring (local) kennel club.

For a dog to gain pure-bred status, a stud book that complies with the rules of the kennel club must be presented as proof of the dog's uncontaminated lineage. The stud book is a breeding record going back many generations, stating a dog's ancestry, the breed of its parents and that of its parent's parents, and so on.

The number of generations required varies from breed to breed, but all pedigreed animals have papers from the registering body that attest to their ancestry.

A Thai Bangkaew, although obviously a very distinct and recognisable breed, would normally not have a suitable stud book to document its heritage, and consequently is not on the registered pure-bred lists in Australia, England, or the US. It is a breed registered by the Kennel Club of Thailand, though, and rightly so. The fascinating story behind its heritage makes it a unique breed in the eyes of dog lovers in Thailand.

Universal heritage of dogs

It has been established that all domesticated dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) originated from the grey wolf (Canis lupus).

It is easy to imagine how dogs became domesticated.

The grey wolf was once the most-widespread carnivore in the world. That crown now belongs to another canid, the red fox, but many thousands of years ago the wolf roamed throughout North America, Europe and parts of Asia and frequently would have come into contact with human hunters and gatherers.

Hanging around for scraps of food, being incredibly cute as puppies and growing up to become guard dogs would certainly have been a realistic scenario that led to wolves becoming tamed and domesticated.

And with the advent of agriculture and plant domestication, identifying certain traits in certain dogs and then selectively breeding them would most probably have started the incredible diversity we now see throughout the incredible range of all domestic dogs.

The Thai Bangkaew is no exception, although it has a twist in its tail. It nevertheless has a wolf heritage like all other dogs, but as the latest research shows, it most likely cross-bred with a jackal.

Many domestic dogs do interbreed with wild dogs, as has been observed with dingoes in Australia, and wolves and coyotes in the US. All pedigree or pure-bred dogs are a product of inbreeding, whereby certain traits are selectively bred in or bred out of a population.

For this reason, interbreeding can lead to various health problems among pure-bred dogs, such as bone-growth deficiencies and other ailments. The Bangkaew is among the healthiest breeds of dog.

Bangkaew character

Research suggests that the Bangkaew is a dominant breed. What this means is that they would be aggressive in a dominance dispute, like Rottweilers or German shepherds, as opposed to being submissive, in that situation, like retrievers and spaniels.

Despite having the dominance trait, they are very loyal and protective towards their owners and families. Should you be a stranger on a visit to a home with a Bangkaew, don't expect a warm welcome! If you aspire to be a Bangkaew owner, you must have a strong character and be prepared to assume the dominant role over your new pet. Be ready to train and properly discipline your dog and remember to use positive reinforcement techniques.

The Bangkaew is a beautiful species and resembles a miniature husky, and the jackal-like face is definitely a striking feature. They have a double-layered coat, the undercoat is short, and the outer guard hair coat is longer and fluffy.

They also have a mane-like, thick layer of fur around their neck; this characteristic is more prominent in the males. This may be a trait inherited from its wild-dog ancestry, as it may help when fighting other males for the attention of females or for a higher rank in the pack.

The Thai Bangkaew is well proportioned with a pluming tail, while the body is stocky and sturdy. Bangkaews are very competent swimmers and love water. They are also keen diggers and are always active, alert and obedient. They are some of the easiest dogs to train.

Whether or not it is recognised as a pure-breed anywhere else in the world doesn't really matter, because the Bangkaew is a Thai icon and Thais are proud of their unique and beautiful dog. It will always be the No.1 Thai pedigree in the hearts of many.
