Dear MEL Topic Readers,
How we got the dogs we know and love today
The dog was the first species that was domesticated. Dogs are thought to diverged from wolves 20,000 to 40,000 years ago around the Last Glacial Maximum. They have been bred over thousands of years for variations in shape, size, colors, behaviors, and sensory and physical capabilities. Dogs perform various roles for their masters, such as herding, hunting, protecting, guarding, and even aiding and healing people. They are now regarded as the best friends of humans. It is estimated that there are nearly one billion dogs around the world.
Dogs have undergone rapid changes for the last few centuries and were formed into modern dog breeds. They vary in weight from a kilo like the Chihuahua to 90 kilos, in height from 15 centimeters to 76 in height like the Great Dane, as well as in color and coats. The Pomeranian, Jack Russell, Doberman, Labrador Retriever, and Poodle are some of the most popular dog breeds. But what are the origins of them?
Enjoy reading the article about the origins of our long-time closest friends.
