With all the variance in dog breeds and yet their dna is almost entirely from the wolf that points to the power of selective breeding "and" the genetic mutations in isolated gene pools. So, although breeding and genetics is a science, I don't believe it will ever be an exact science.
Ive always wondered why no one has ever used those high% wolf dogs to hog hunt with. You'd think it would come naturally to them lol.
Make-‘‘em squeal…
I have thought much about the physiological aspects of the wolf, coyote and fox which they have similar structures and the biggest differences are their sizes…we have to believe that evolution molded them to have erect ears that swivel fo pin point accuracy…how the front legs are set as well as the rib cages are shaped amongst other similarities is worth noting…the physical similarities were molded by necessity as part of the evolution process…
Mother Nature does not make mistakes…she culls those that cannot meet her standards…no vaccines and no bottle feeding…the laws of nature include the laws of balance…
We as humans breed for extreme traits at times for nose, length of ear and hunt just naming a few examples…
Looking at one trait as an example…
The ear…
The wolf ear…why are they always a prick ear?
I could create theories on why and I have read some examples why…but I can only say there are good reasons for it because nature doesn’t make mistakes…
Bloodhound ear…I can only say that this ear can not survive in the wild and it would eventually evolve back towards the wolf, coyote and fox type ear because nature does not make mistakes…people do…
