Did the Apache Indians have dogs?

Answer 1

Historical sources such as artifacts(totem poles),paintings,narrations in diaries by early settlers,archeological & anthropological evidence points to the north American tribe Inuits who crossed over with dogs to the warmer regions .The other tribes Iroquois,Cherokee,Sioux and apaches interacted for barter/wars and later with Europeans who arrived in 1500's -1700 bringing dogs for guarding and as pets.

Almost all Native tribes cultures kept dogs, and in varying capacities(guarding,trailing,as pets). One theory is that people would have not been able to cross the Bering strait, into North America then the native dogs would not be found in American.
