The Telomian is a type of dog found in isolated villages near the Telom River in the rainforests of the Malay Peninsula. It has been introduced into the United States. Some US-based breeders were selling these dogs as pure breds, which was dismissed with the Malaysian Kennel Association in a statement that these are pariah dogs and not a breed. These are an active dog that is affectionate towards people, and possess a terrier-like temperament. They feature erect ears, curly tails, with short fur on the coat that is either red or yellow. There may be some variation in coat colour. Some are piebald in colour, and occasionally some have a black mask. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
