A dog is hands-down the best choice between a wolf vs. a dog. Wolves are wild animals and arenot bred for domesticationlike dogs have been. However, if you do love the look of the wolf, several dog breedslook like wolvesor are closely related to wolves. And don’t forget about wolf...
DOGSIMITATIVE behaviorSimple Summary: It is now widely accepted that animals may express and perceive emotions. This capacity has an adaptive value because it allows animals to respond to various situations quickly and appropriately thus facilitating their survival and increasing their reproduc...
Unfortunately, although such breeding practices do tend to produce uniformity of appearance and behavior within breeds, in the absence of periodic out-crossing, dogs generated by these systems tend to be more inbred and therefore more vulnerable to infectious disease, inbreeding depression, and the ...
It is surprising how little we know about the domestic dog, considering its huge practical and emotional impact on human lives, whereas the wolf and other wild canid relatives have been studied in far greater detail (Serpell, 1995). Past work has focused mainly on the ecology of free-...
Though it is widely accepted that dogs were domesticated from an ancient wolf ancestor6,7, findings diverge on the specific timing, location and number of domestication sites8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18. However, a date of around 16,000 cal BP (calibrated years before the present) ...
NLP have already been described in Canid vocalisations (dhole:26; red wolf:22), including dogs’ howls11, barks27 and whines23, but none of these studies have directly tested what role they play in communication. We can assume that the occurrence of nonlinearities28 and other common measures...

In nearly all canids, including the gray wolf, the talonid retains two main cusps (Fig. 15.2) and has a crushing function. However, in the African wild dog, the dhole, and the bush dog, the lingual entoconid has been lost and the labial hypoconid is converted into a small blade, ...
The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, is a direct descendant of the gray wolf, Canis lupus. DNA analysis suggests that the modern-day dog is derived from multiple regional wolf populations (Cagan and Bass, 2016). The genome sequence of a 35,000 years old ancient Siberian Taimyr wolf fossil ...
“The diversity in size, shape, and behavior in the dog is genetically tractable,” wrote the authors of the 2010 study in Genetics that unveiled the mapped genome. “This ‘adaptive’ variation can be couched in the developmental context of an extent progenitor, the wolf, to illum...
