Dogs are such cool animals. They were one of the first domestic animals and the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore.
They are very nice! And they come in all shapes and sizes. It's hard to imagine the Chihuahua and the Great Dane come from the same ancestry.
I know what you mean! They were selectively bred over millennia which is how breeds came to be.
Did they originally come from wolves? I heard that before.
That's correct. They came from wolves and were bred for different behaviors and sensory capabilities.
Interesting. I always though it would be funny to imagine the Chihuahua surviving in the wild. But I guess they were once larger and more ferocious.
Oh that would go very badly haha. They were bred to have various different sizes, shapes, and colors based on the breed.
Yes for sure. Like the wiener dog... and his short legs. That wouldn't work so well in the wild running from predators!
