These are not my personal pictures I found them on the web and contacted my berber family to see whether they recognised them. They immediately recognised them and told me they were used to protect and watch over the village/livestock and hunt. These dogs are still probably in Algeria but so far my research has lead me to some villages right on the border of Algeria/Tunisia. I will be taking a trip to the villages around the Tunisian/Algerian border to see these dogs in the flesh later in the year.
