The Hare Indian dog is an extinct domesticated canid; possibly a breed of domestic dog, coydog or domesticated coyote; formerly found and originally bred in northern Canada by the Hare Indians for coursing. It had the speed and some characteristics of the coyote, but the domesticated temperament and other characteristics of a domestic dog. It gradually lost its usefulness as Indigenous peoples hunting methods declined, and went extinct or lost its separate identity through interbreeding with dogs in the 19th century.
