There are a lot of dog breeds lost to the annals of time. Share some of the ones you know to preserve their memory.

German Tankhund
The German Tankhund died out back in the early 1800s when the Industrial Revolution swept across Germany and the Tankhund was no longer needed for manual labor. Not only did this dog provide its name to the modern Tank, but the design of the Tank Tread as well - a direct mimic of its bizarre tread-like legs and warped bone structure that allowed it to patrol early German villages and keep them safe.

Russian Queenhound
These dogs were very strange because of their uncanny resemblance to Humans. Sometime in the early 1900s, after it was discovered that several of the most recent Tsars had actually been Queenhounds and no one ever knew, the Russian people had them hunted and culled.

The Prog Dog
An experimental breed that was curious, adventurous, and a little too shaggy (if we're being honest). Breeders lost interest as they turned to more glamorous breeds for show or to grungier breeds for work.

A lot of ancient dog breeds were classified as Gaynines and they're extinct for obvious reasons.

Chief among them were the Golden Laberace and the Appenzellen DeGeneres
