Carbunclo

A very rare breed of Native American dogs. They were first recorded in the Mining regions of Chile in the sixteenth century. The dog breed has many different features, but they all share ruby-coloured eyes.
What makes them very special is their ability to smell precious metals and gemstones. In the past, they were used by miners to unearth more veins in the mountains and the mines. Modern technology now far outclasses their range and penetration and the dogs are no longer used in this capacity. Although many miner families in Southern America still own these dogs for traditional reasons.
The dogs are now kept as pets by both supernaturals and humans all around the world. Myths surrounding them tell of a the idea that these dogs bestow good fortune to owners who treat them well. Whether or not this is true or just a fabrication of a good animal protection organization is unknown.

Breeders

There are only a handful of breeders in the world who breed this species of dogs. They are fairly high maintenance and do not breed easily. When bred with other dog breeds they often lose their supernatural abilities and with it their signature ruby red eyes. These eyes, which are bioluminescent in the dark, are what makes these dogs so valuable.

Maintenance

Just like all dogs, they require some meat-based food, regular attention and walks. They like to play with their owners and other dogs. What makes them different from other dogs is that they will chase after people wearing jewellery made of precious metals and gemstones. They love the smell of these things. It is advised to own a few high-value jewellery pieces for them to play with.
