Question: Telomian and Alaunt, are a breed of what?
Context: The Telomian is a breed of dog native to Malaysia.  Though rare, it remains the only known Malaysian dog breed to live outside its homeland.  Malaysian are used to called this dog breed Anjing Kampung which means Village dog in Malay.  This dog breed is still remained rarest in the world. The English Mastiff is a breed of extremely large dog (often known simply as the Mastiff) perhaps descended from the ancient Alaunt and Pugnaces Britanniae, with a significant input from the Alpine Mastiff in the 19th century.  Distinguishable by enormous size, massive head, and a limited range of colours, but always displaying a black mask, the Mastiff is noted for its gentle and loving nature.  The lineage of modern dogs can be traced back to the early 19th century, but the modern type was stabilised in the 1880s and refined since.  Following a period of sharp decline, the Mastiff has increased its worldwide popularity.  Throughout its history, the Mastiff has contributed to the development of a number of dog breeds, some generally known as Mastiff-type dogs, or, confusingly, just as "Mastiffs". The British Milksheep originally was known as the Alderbred and is a breed of domesticated sheep developed by Lawrence Alderson in Wiltshire and Northumberland.  It was exported to several countries including Hungary, France and Greece, and from there other neighbouring countries.  It now can be found mainly in the UK, Hungary and Canada, although the population in Britain was decimated during the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in 2001.  The exact composition of the breed has never been declared but it was based on high-performance animals in existing flocks of Dorset Horn, Bluefaced Leicester and Eastrip Prolific sheep kept by the Alderson family.  Additional individual animals were selected from Lleyn, Texel and East Friesian breeds.  Subsequent selection was based on measures of productivity, without regard for uniformity of appearance.  A standardised breed type emerged gradually as the blending process continued.  The animals were exposed to rugged conditions in the upper Pennines in northern England to develop robustness and adaptability.  Progeny testing from the initial stages laid the foundation for continuous genetic improvement.  Initially, total ownership of females of the breed was retained by the family and only rams were sold, but groups of females were released to other breeders in 1981.  Numbers of flocks and animals increased rapidly and there were more than 5,000 breeding ewes by the mid-1980s with flocks widespread in Britain.  A flock book was published in 1986.  As the name of the breed suggests, it is a prolific milk producer, and several large dairy flocks were established.  However, it is a robust, general-purpose sheep rather than a specialist dairy breed.  It is known for its extremely high prolificacy, and rams are used to sire high-performance crossbred daughters.  The quality of its carcase and wool are extra beneficial traits.  In all countries outside Britain, the British Milksheep is used more as a dairying breed with dual-purpose qualities, but it is used also in most countries as a crossing sire; in Britain on hill and longwool breeds, in France in the Alps and Pyrenees on mountain breeds, in Greece on Chios dairy ewes, and in Hungary on the predominant Merino population.  In France it has contributed to the development of the Boulonnais breed. The Beulah Speckled Face is a breed of domestic sheep originating in the United Kingdom.  Having been bred in the uplands of Wales for more than a hundred years, a breed society was officially formed in 1958.  This breed is most common in Eppynt, Llanafan Fawr, Abergwesyn, and Llanwrtyd Wells, and it is little known outside Wales.  The origins of the breed are unclear; it may be a truly native breed that has been selected to suit the local environment for centuries.  The breed is named for its distinctly patterned black and white face, which is free from wool.  The ewes, which are naturally polled, are often crossed with lowland rams such as the Suffolk, Texel or Bluefaced Leicester to breed mules, and to produce market lambs for meat.  When bred pure, the lambs do not meet today's export demand for lean, fast-growing sheep.  However, the ewes make good mothers and produce plenty of milk. A cat registry or cat breed registry, also known as a cat fancier organisation, cattery federation, or cat breeders' association, is an organisation that registers domestic cats (usually purebred) of many breeds, for exhibition and for breeding lineage tracking purposes.  A cat registry stores the pedigrees (genealogies) of cats, cattery names, and other details of cats; studbooks (lists of authorised studs of recognised breeds), breed descriptions, and the formal breed standards (a.k.a. standards of points or SoP); lists of judges qualified to judge at shows run by or affiliated with that registry; and sometimes other information.  A cat registry is not the same as a breed club or breed society (these are specific-breed organisations that may be affiliated with one or more registries with whom they have lodged breed standards in order to be able to exhibit under the auspices of that registry).  Cat registries each have their own rules and usually also organise or license (sanction) cat shows.  The show procedures vary widely, and awards won in one registry are not normally recognised by another.  Some registries only serve breeders, while others are oriented toward pet owners and provide individual as well as cattery memberships, while yet others are federations only deal with breed clubs or even other registries as intermediaries between the organisation and breeders. The Norwegian Forest cat (Norwegian: Norsk skogkatt or Norsk skaukatt ) is a breed of domestic cat originating in Northern Europe.  This natural breed is adapted to a very cold climate, with top coat of glossy, long, water-shedding hairs and a woolly undercoat for insulation.  Although this is uncertain, the breed's ancestors may have been a landrace of short-haired cats brought to Norway by the Vikings around 1000 AD, who may also have brought with them long-haired cats, like those ancestral to the modern Siberian and Turkish Angora breeds.  During World War II, the breed became nearly extinct until efforts by the Norwegian Forest Cat Club helped the breed by creating an official breeding program.  It was registered as a breed with the European Fédération Internationale Féline in the 1970s, when a local cat fancier, Carl-Fredrik Nordane, took notice of the breed and made efforts to register it.  Currently, the Norwegian Forest breed is very popular in Norway, Sweden, Iceland and France. The Cymric ( or ) is a breed of domestic cat.  Some cat registries consider the Cymric simply a semi-long-haired variety of the Manx breed, rather than a separate breed.  Except for the length of fur, in all other respects the two varieties are the same, and kittens of either sort may appear in the same litter.  The name comes from "Cymru" (] ), the indigenous Welsh name of Wales, though the breed is not associated with Wales, and the name was possibly given as an attempt to provide a "Celtic"-sounding name for the breed.  The breed's Manx bloodline originated in the Isle of Man, though Canada claims to have developed the long-haired variant.  The breed is called the Longhair Manx or a similar name by some registries. A breed standard (also called bench standard or the standard) in the dog fancy is a set of guidelines covering specific "externally observable" qualities such as "appearance", "movement", and "temperament" for that dog breed.  Breed standards are not scientific documents, but are written for each breed by clubs of hobbyists called breed clubs for their own specific requirements.  Details and definitions within breed standards for a specific dog breed may vary from breed club to breed club and from country to country.  Dog breed standards are similar in form and function to breed standards for other domesticated animals. The Alaunt is an extinct breed of dog, with the original breed having existed in central Asia and Europe from ancient times through the 17th century.  The Alaunt breed had three distinct phenotypes: Alaunt Veantre, Alaunt Boucherie and the Alaunt Gentile.  They all were large, short coated dogs of varying head-types.  The former two resembled the molosser type dogs much like the present-day Dogo Argentino or like the Caucasian Shepherd Dog except with short hair and a mesocephalic head which made them excellent large-game hunters.  The Alaunt was originally bred by the Alani tribes, the nomads of Indo-European Sarmatian ancestry who spoke an Iranian language.  The Alans were known as superb warriors, herdsmen, and breeders of horses and dogs.  The Alans bred their dogs for work and developed different strains within the breed for specific duties.  The breed was further developed in Spain, France, Germany, England, and in Italy. The German Shepherd (German: Deutscher Schäferhund , ] ) is a breed of medium to large-sized working dog that originated in Germany.  The breed's officially recognized name is German Shepherd Dog in the English language (sometimes abbreviated as "GSD").  The breed is also known as the Alsatian in Britain and Ireland.  The German Shepherd is a relatively new breed of dog, with their origin dating to 1899.  As part of the Herding Group, German Shepherds are working dogs developed originally for herding sheep.  Since that time however, because of their strength, intelligence, trainability, and obedience, German Shepherds around the world are often the preferred breed for many types of work, including disability assistance, search-and-rescue, police and military roles, and even acting.  The German Shepherd is the second-most registered breed by the American Kennel Club and fourth-most registered breed by The Kennel Club in the United Kingdom.
