Dogs were the first species to ever be domesticated, and their selective breeding has resulted in a large variety of dog breeds with specific behaviours and physical attributes.
What year did that start?
Based on current archaeological records, the first dog remains found buried beside humans occured 14,700 years ago. However, there are disputed claims of remains leading back 36,000 years ago
Very interesting. Do you know what the most recent breed is? I had a cockapoo.
I don't, no! Cockapoos are very cute - my mum used to own a poodle and they're very intelligent dogs. What was your cockapoo called?
Her name was Stormy. It is very interesting how humans can "create" such variations of dogs and plants. Do you know what other creatures humans can alter like that?
I believe there are many, but I'm not 100% sure. I think there are different breeds of sheep, for example, that are bred for the consistency of their wool. Cats are also selectively breed, but not to the same extent as dogs.
Ah, that's right. Good examples
