Most breeds died out because other breeds, better suited to the job came along. It would take a ton of money, time and resources - probably better spent saving the vulnerable breeds which are under threat now. Most of those old breeds would not be well suited to modern life anyway. Possible but hardly worth while. Most breeds died out because other breeds, better suited to the job came along.

However, you can come very close to the extinct breed's characteristics and appearance. This practice is called back breeding. You can read more about it in the link below.

There's a reason the breed went extinct to begin with.

But your great grandkids might have to complete the project. Save me a Talbot pup! Best of luck. Why not. But your great grandkids might have to complete the project.
