Every Dog: A Book of Over 450 Breeds

Every Dog Your guide to over 450 dog breeds Read more Introduction No other mammal and certainly no domestic animal has been transformed by human requirements (or their aesthetic whims) into such a broad range of shapes, sizes, and coat textures as the modern-day dog. The towering Irish Wolfhound and the diminutive Chihuahua are the exact same species, as are the narrow-skulled Borzoi and the blunt-faced English Bulldog. And though most dogs were engineered to perform specific tasks, certain dogs were bred solely for a fashionable appearance or a pleasing nature. Most researchers agree that dogs were descended from the gray wolf of central Asia, canis lupus, and domesticated from 17,000 to 14,000 years ago. It is believed that their relationship with man first started with scavenging wolves picking over the remains of animal carcasses discarded near human camps. Perhaps a bold wolf puppy wandered into the camp and was fostered by the humans. By the time of the first recorded histories, dogs were already entrenched within human society.
