All dogs descendants of wolves???

[DLDTommy]

When I got my wolf, it was a cub from a den in the mountains of NC. No hybrid, but one of the best animals I ever had the pleasure to own. Feeding time was somewhat different however. Once given the meal, anyone had to exit the pen until it was over!

Had a buddy do some similar stuff, bad ass animal for sure and very different in terms of communication too. He also trapped a coyote and backed it up to one of his GSD's. Only got one pup but that little dog grew up to be one bad SOB as well. I guess what I'm sayin is that [nature] is fun to experiment with.

On top of that, I think I recall reading somewhere, that dogs have a somewhat special gene that allows them to develop and establish characteristics at a fast rate, that is why within 100 years we have multiple times the number of dog breeds that we used to have. So, no wonder that all these different looking and acting types of dogs come from wolves. Also, I think I mentioned it here before, about domesticated foxes that within 20 years they developed attitudes, colors and other characteristics similar to dogs, so this gene thing must hold some truth into it.

What about greyhounds and salukis. There are no wolves in Africa.

At one time I thought they were.but now I don't think so simpl because every culture in the world has had dogs from the beginning of time .and hybrid dog x wolf can't reproduce so they say ,just like a mule horse donkey cross they can breed but can't reproduce ..lion x tiger = liger .the liger can't reproduce .i do think the wolf ,dog ,coyote ,fox are all related .but yet maybe the dog came from the wild dogs of Africa .

Wolf hybrids can repoduce. And mules every now and agian aren't sterile. And to the Africa dog comment, im pretty sure the Egyptians hyrogplics had dogs.... dogs been in Africa for many many years.

Dogs have been around since before recorded history. The Chauvet caves of France have 26,000 year old foot prints of a small boy and his dog. Was it a wolve? Doubt an 8 year old child is roaming caves with one large wolf. If there were dogs in France 30,000 yrs ago I'm sure they were everywhere.

That is what I was saying .and it is rare that a wolf dog hybrid can reproduce or a mule.

Just looked up the wolf dog ,most I read said they can reproduce .

All dogs descend from wolves. Period. For anyone to say different showcases their ignorance. Dna proves it.. Run a chihuahua and a wolf and compare.

Wolf is a different breed of dog

Just like tigers don't live in Africa and lions don't live in Asia

Tigers and lions are just a different breed of the same animal

Ligers can reproduce and evolution is bullcrap
