Feral dogs, Carolina Dogs, Dingos, etc.

[edit]

Not long ago I saw something on TV that said that wherever domesticated dogs go feral, after many generations, they take on a dingo-like appearance. This could say a lot about the origin of the Carolina Dog and the domesticated dog. It poses a "which came first?" question. Does anyone know where there is some research on this?

Good question. Actually, that is the big question: whether such dogs look alike because they are related, or because any dog left in that situation ends up evolving into a dingo-like shape. I seem to recall some research into whether similarities between Indian Pariah Dogs and Dingoes were due to close relationships, and it turned out that no, they're not closely related, so the similarities must be due to some other reason. They do look alot alike, though. Chrisrus (talk) 16:45, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The study saying that Carolina Dogs were related to Dingoes was done using mitochondrial DNA, which does not have any bearing on the appearance of the animal. The conclusion was that the Carolina Dog had an Asian origin. What appaently has not been said in so many words is that Native Americans brought these dogs with them when they crossed the Bering land bridge from Asia some 10,000 or more years ago. 72.182.33.219 (talk) 03:50, 13 August 2014 (UTC) Eric[reply]
Have they checked their DNA against chihuahua DNA, anyone know? For, chihuahuas are also indigenous New World dogs, descended from the canines that came with the Palaeoindians, the first human migration into the New World (most likely, though the seafaring-route to South America still cannot be completely ruled out as an additional and contemporary migration route) Firejuggler86 (talk) 08:47, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Typo?

[edit]

"After they gave birth or while pregnant, the dog would carefully push sand with her snout to cover her excrement." excrement, or pups? Otherwise that would mean she goes to find her poop and covers it after birthing, CUZ? Sounds like a mix up. The-sea-doggie (talk)
