Africanis

The Africanis is a medium-sized dog originating in Southern Africa. It is a landrace dog, so there is a small degree of variation within the breed. It is known by a number of names, depending on the locality: Bantu dog, umbwa wa ki-shenzi (Kiswahili), Hottentot hunting dog, Khoekhoe dog, Tswana dog, and Zulu dog. Many of these names are derived from the local indigenous groups where this dog is from.

Africanis dogs are possibly descended from ancient Egyptian dogs.
