Philippine Forest Dog / Aso ng Gubat - A breed of our own!
PFD - A Primitive Dog
The term primitive classifies a set of an ancient breeds that were not the result of a programmed selection by man but by natural selection through adaptation to the environment and to the function in which they specialized.
The Philippine Forest Dog or Aso ng Gubat was used for hunting, and still is in some parts of Northern Luzon. The PFD standard requires a vigorous, agile dog fit in the forest, and capable in surviving in the challenging climate and terrain conditions of its origin.
It is a small to medium-sized dog, well proportioned and comparable to the wild types.
The PFD is a dog suitable for guarding, hunting, and varmint chasing. It particularly operates in Central Luzon where it earned the name "Luzon bird /rat catcher".
