TIL in the midst of Greenland's pristine landscape lies a U.S. Air Force base which was abandoned in 1947 and everything was left behind; dilapidated vehicles, asbestos-laden structures, and 10,000 leaking fuel barrels. The Inuits who live in the region call the rusted remains "American Flowers".

Other than the Inuit sled dogs and Carolina dogs, are there any pre-Columbian domestic dog lineages left in the Americas? Additionally, is there much in a way of dog landrace formation in current Native American reservations?
Looking at wikipedia, there's been a number of extint breeds due to European contact, in North American neck of the woods...kind of curious as to whether there's much information available on existing dog populations.

The Inuit people of the arctic had access to sled dogs, yet the rest of the American Native peoples farther south had no contact with dogs during the Spanish Invasion. Given how incredibly useful domesticated dogs are, why did the use of dogs not travel south throughout the Americas?
I've heard that the Native Americans greatly feared the dogs brought by the Spanish conquistadores because they did not have dogs themselves--they only had access to Chihuahua-like animals. But, given that the Inuit people DID have access to dogs, why did their use never travel south considering how incredibly useful they would have been.
