Our non-breed (as in pre-breeds like a dingo) dog is like you get the stick.

- quickthrower2 5y agoInteresting, what else can you say about the non-breed heritage. What is it most closely related to in terms of dog? Or it is closer to wolf? (Serious question)
- jjtheblunt 5y agoThat's an open question but I can't now find the citation that the whole presumption that dogs come from wolves isn't necessarily right, that they may all be cousins. She does show a chihuahua great grandparent, but otherwise is native central american. people mistake her for a yellow lab since they gravitate towards certainty and in so doing ignore entirely non lab features in coloring and geometry, and behavior. Curiously the Dingos and the dogs you might see being brought back from the Middle East theaters of war to europe/americas look super similar. My conjecture is that this is the natural dog, that you could recreate things like a yellow lab with many generations of selective breeding, that Huskies and Malamutes likely are more wolf related. But it's only a conjecture. Look at EmbarkVet.com for one source of canine dna documentation, I'd suggest.
