The History of the Dog
- Stalking
the Ancient Dog
- Man's best friend may go way back. In-depth feature article
by Christine Mlot in Science News Online.
- Multiple
and Ancient Origins of the Domestic Dog
- The archaeological record cannot resolve
whether domestic dogs originated from a single wolf population or arose from multiple
populations at different times. DNA Analysis sheds some new light on the origins
of "the dog". Caution: on the same site the author expresses the opinion that wolfdog
hybrids are no more dangerous than "ordinary dogs" because there's hardly any genetic
difference. He ignores the fact that the difference between our and a chimpanzee's
genes amounts to no more than 2%.
- Primitive
Dogs
- Primitive dogs are those breeds which are thought to be little altered
from the ancestral wolves in both body form and behavioral attributes. This article
delves a little into uncharted territory.

- The
Crossbreed and Mongrel Club
- The Crossbreed and Mongrel Club was set up by
non-pedigree dog owners who wanted a club that appreciated the uniqueness of their
own type of dog and that recognised they are something to be proud of and neither
inferior nor superior to pedigrees but equally loving, fun to own and useful in their
own right.
