A distinct genetic makeup led the Kennel Union of South Africa to recognize the Africanis as an emerging breed, but some objected to the dog being called an emerging breed rather than as a landrace,. In the end, the Union decided unanimously to remove all references to the breed from the KUSA website.

While there’s still a feral population in South Africa, people are recognizing that the playful, friendly, and loyal Africanis is a marvelous family pet.
