Salish Woolly Dogs | National Dog Day

Traditionally, Salish Woolly dogs held significant roles in the Coast Salish lifestyle, until the decline of their population in the 1800s.

The woolly dogs were raised and bred for their fur, which weavers combined with mountain goat hair to create clothing and blankets.
