“…Skeletal remains reported as those of early dogs derived from early archeological contexts (dating from approximately 9000-14,000 years ago) are scattered in different regions, from the Middle East (Davis & Valla, 1978;Turnbull & Reed, 1974) to central and northern Europe (Benecke, 1987;Degerbol, 1961;Morey, 1992;Nobis, 1981) and into North America (Grayson, 1984). But we agree with Olsen (1985) that until now the earliest known domesticated wolves ''.…”

“…However, uncontested dog remains date from considerably later in time. Two candidates for the earliest dog, both potentially dated to c. 14,000 years ago, are a single jaw fragment from Germany (Koop et al 2000) and specimens from Palegawra in Iraq (Turnbull & Reed 1974; but see Uerpmann (1982) who regarded the age of the Palegawra specimens to be closer to 8,000 years). The earliest uncontested dogs from Southwest Asia are 9,000 years old (Wayne & O'Brien 1987;Goebel 1999) and claims of terminal Pleistocene dogs are based on non-diagnostic material (Leonard et al 2002).…”

The taxonomic identity and status of the Australian Dingo has been unsettled and controversial since its initial description in 1792. Since that time it has been referred to by various names including Canis dingo, Canis lupus dingo, Canis familiaris and Canis familiaris dingo. Of these names C. l. dingo and C. f. dingo have been most often used, but it has recently been proposed that the Australian Dingo should be once again recognized as a full species-Canis dingo. There is an urgent need to address the instability of the names referring to the Dingo because of the consequences for management and policy. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the morphological, genetic, ecological and biological data to determine the taxonomic relationships of the Dingo with the aim of confirming the correct scientific name. The recent proposal for Canis dingo as the most appropriate name is not sustainable under zoological nomenclature protocols nor based on the genetic and morphological evidence. Instead we proffer the name C. familiaris for all free-ranging dogs, regardless of breed and location throughout the world, including the Australian Dingo. The suggested nomenclature also provides a framework for managing free-ranging dogs including Dingoes, under Australian legislation and policy. The broad principles of nomenclature we discuss here apply to all free-roaming dogs that coexist with their hybrids, including the New Guinea Singing Dog.

“…The dog (Canis familiaris), is the oldest domestic animal, originally domesticated in the pre-agricultural age between 14,000 and 12,000 years ago (Turnbell and Reed, 1974;Tanabe et al, 1991). The dogs are one of the most diverse domestic species.…”

This study was conducted to characterize the morphological and behavior patterns of Sapsaree dogs. The population (n=8,256) has been constructed since 1990 over 12 generations and managed at the Sapsaree Breeding Research Institute, Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk province. Eighteen morphological and seven behavioral traits were investigated for 882 individuals. Linear models were applied for each trait by fitting sex, season of birth, hair color or test age. The averages of body weight, body length, body height, and depth of chest were 20.5±2.4 kg, 57.3±4.2 cm, 52.1±3.6 cm, and 21.1±2.4 cm, respectively. Males had greater estimated values than females for these body conformation traits. The chocolate Sapsarees had greater averages for body weight, body height and chest depth. The older animals (>2 years) had heavier body weight than younger animals. About 54, 69, 97, 39 and 83.3% of the Sapsarees had hairs with yellow color, straight, medium to long, untangled, and longer around eyes, respectively. Also, about 40% brown eye, 43% curly tail, 78% normal jaw, 86% no missing teeth, 90% no dewclaw, and >90% with black nose, pendent ear, tongue without spots were observed. About 95% males were normal in testicles state. The males performed significantly better than the females for majority of the behavioral traits. For nerve stability, affability, wariness, adaptability, sharpness, activity, and reaction during blood drawn about 79%, 73%, 76%, 61%, 70%, 48% and 81% of the Sapsarees performed at desired level. In general, the Sapsarees showed good characteristics for both morphological and behavioral traits, which can be exploited to use the Sapsaree breed as a companion or guide dog.
