    All dogs descendants of wolves???

    Just seen that Blue commercial so I thought I'd thread this. I don't think it's true though.

    that's what they say. Scientist even get more specific and say they are all particularly descendants of the grey wolf. I don't know enough on the subject to argue against the science of it all.

    Yes... From the great dane, to the chihuahua. All dogs are direct descendents of wolves, and they can breed with wolves with no problem. If you want a good read as to the process of evolution from plants to bacteria to viruses to dogs. Read Dawkins book, "the greatest show on earth."

    Yeah I believe dogs and wolves are same species technically. but can they breed with other canis such as fox and jackals and are they also same species?

    Coyotes and dogs have been none to breed naturally without man intervention, hence the term "Coy dog". Most wolf dog hybrids are the result of someone breeding a wolf to a dog.

    Wow I guess this explains all the brindle yotes I got around here.Just kidding,but we do see solid black yotes.I think they call them coydogs around here too,we call them target practice.

    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!

    It would be kinda hard to argue with science but it does depend on "who's" study/info we're talking about too. With that said I'd lean more towards them being descendants of wild dogs. ......but then again wild dogs resemble wolves...
