  • Ignorance is bliss. If all the wolves in the pack breed you would have more variety smaller animals (dogs) Quote "There had to be small foxs or something along those lines to go down from a 100lb wolf to a 3lb toy." If you breed the smallest to the smallest it wouldn't take as long as you think It could be done in a human life span with many many generations. Quote "I have always found it hard to believe that all dogs might have come from only 3 female wolfs." I just found this study now It's nothing new. Quote from this site http://txtwriter.com/Onscience/Articles/familydog.html "Using statistical methods to compare the relative similarity of the sequences, Wayne found that all the dog sequences fell into four distinct groups. The largest, containing 19 of the 26 sequences and representing 3/4 of modern dogs, resulted from a single female wolf lineage. The three smaller groups seem to represent later events when other wolves mated with the now-domesticated dogs. Domestication, it seems, didn't happen very often, and perhaps only once." And the next one came from here http://www.trussel.com/prehist/news24.htm "But no DNA evidence was found of coyotes or jackals in the dog family tree. The study showed that Fido, and every other dog in the world, was all wolf, the researchers said." and another http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_the_domestic_dog and another http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4965516.stm There are many more sites.
