[xiimaaya]

Hey guys I know somali cats are famous around the world and is known for thier eloquent furry tails, but what about dogs? Are there any dogs in somalia? I know culturely we hate dogs and did we eliminate them in our civil war?

I dont have any memory of the damned place so that's why I'm asking .

There are indeed bunch of stray dogs in Somalia. Don't quite know what breed they are though, Almost all the ones I've come across were sandy coloured and skinny.

Mongrels, that is all you will get back home. Some claim Arab, some argue that they are Bantu, others insist that they are the Real McCoy.

They are basenji type dogs from what i recall. They're everywhere.

There were Cane Lupe/German Shepherds kept by foreigners

I have a cat. It wasn't mine, but a family member who got it from a shelter left it with me. Got him young but he's old now. Cats are smart.

TBH I have next to zero knowledge of dog breeds so can't tell you. The road leading to mansoor hotel hargaisa is full of lazy dogs, maybe due daily harassment from goats. Back goats rule the streets

The cat named ''Somali cat'' has nothing to do with Somalia. It is an Egyptian-Abyssinian hybrid cat established by the British. They just named it Somali for sake of exoticness.
