Famous Hatchery 'Pure Bred' Appearances

The comparable dog would be the basenji.

Basically a land race where a few were taken and then selectively bred, but if you look at what is recognized as a basenji by breeders it’s mire standardized than what is still found in the Congo

Basenjis are really neat dogs.
My friends grandma had two: a red & white named Pharaoh and a tri-color named Marc Anthony.
Sadly the grandma fed them people food snacks all the time and they became fat sausage dogs.

I wonder if the Australian dingo could be considered a landrace?
I know they’re not domesticated but didn’t they come from feral domestic dogs?

I actually think they are their own species ???
Someone please correct me

Can you post pictures of egyptian fayoumi? I have 4 of them that I got this year and they are quickly becoming my favorite birds because of how skilled they are at free ranging. They are all hens but they seem more alert than some of my roosters. It is also cool watching chickens fly around the barnyard like guinea hens, idk if it is just the birds from McMurray's breeding flock or what but they have been excellent so far. I am going to cross breed them to a cornish cross and see what happens.

No standard. Hatchery birds are only second to actually Fayoumis in Egypt lol.

Fat Sausage Dogs ... Now THAT'S a landrace with no standard at all! Growing up, one of my neighbors had one that looked like a miniature poodle crossed with a tick - and another had one that looked like the same fat tick went to a party with a pug. Lemme tell you, those were two VERY ugly doggies. The Pug mix was too sweet for her own good, but the poodle was nasty. Luckily, he couldn't reach past his own chin to bite ... but that didn't mean he wouldn't try!

I think the dingo would not be considered a land race because it is more like wolves created be devolution frm domestic dogs... they’re really their own thing.

But they lack diversity genetically and landraces are typically quite diverse.

According to the gal I talked with (I wish I'd thought to get a contact!) True Swedish Flowers are free ranged in the wide-open. Their coops, if they have any, only get closed up at night. Breeding is accomplished in whatever way nature and the head rooster dictate. The only real "selection" done by her family was to decide who was joining them for dinner!

Exactly, because that is what a landrace breed is... However, take some of those birds out of Sweden and follow that same "free-range" in the wide open with the head rooster accomplishing breeding landrace style etc., in let's say, Tucson, Arizona, you might quite probably wind up with a different looking flock of birds within 5 years or so... (And if it got a little adaptive edge or jumpstart from interbreeding with a Sage hen while it wandered out on the desert it would really look different..., but we won't go there). My whole point is, once the breed adapts to an Arizona environment, it most likely will not have all the characteristics it had when adapted to a Swedish environment and instead have ones that make it more heat tolerant and be colored in a way that will help it avoid predation in the desert and keep it from soaking up too much heat.

My whole point is is that your comment is irrelevant to anything I said and still is... Evolution refers to selective adaptation over a great deal of time. Since a chicken generation can be less than a year, it would not take a great deal of time for a breed of chicken to adapt to a different environment that would favor very different traits from the one it was originally adapted to. And chickens have incredible adaptive abilities.... We can see proof of this in all the vast variety of characteristics the many different kinds can have. Again, I am only addressing the comment made by the Swedish person, who felt that the SOP's of other countries was ruining the Swedish Flower chicken "because as a landrace, it should only be subject to environmental selection". I am not talking about dogs or any other animal.
A landrace is a domesticated, locally adapted, traditional variety of a species of animal or plant that has developed over time, through adaptation to its natural and cultural environment of agriculture and pastoralism, and due to isolation from other populations of the species.
