This is an amazing breed and it is very rare. The NGSD is a wild, primitive breed that is in danger of becoming extinct. At the moment, I am the ONLY breeder and I would love to see more interest in this breed. I am currently on my 3rd Generation (they turn 1 this Sunday) and I am willing to sell my 4th Generation back up pups for cheap if there is someone who is interested in becoming a New Guinea Singing Dog (NGSD) breeder. :3
