Our three Bush Dog brothers joined All Things Wild in 2025 and are part of the European Breeding Programme (EEP). Native to the Atlantic Forest of Argentina, these little explorers are some of the most elusive and fascinating animals around!

Bush dogs are excellent swimmers and love living together in tight family groups, where they play, hunt, and look out for each other. They’re very chatty too, using over ten different sounds to “talk” to one another – from squeaks and whistles to growls. Keep your eyes on them, and you might just catch a glimpse of their clever tricks and playful antics!
