The origin of the domestic dog and its many breeds has a long and complex history. All modern dogs, from the St. Bernard to the Chihuahua, originated from one common ancestor...the wolf, Canis lupus. Over time, dogs were intentionally bred to enhance characteristics such as strength, speed and hunting ability. Later, smaller dogs were bred to become companion or "lap" dogs. Today, there are over 400 domestic dog breeds recognized World Wide. While some breeds are still used for their original purpose, most have become accepted as household pets. The term "breed" refers to controlled domestication, as directed by humans, which results in specifically desired characteristics or traits. If not controlled by humans, breeds quickly dissolve in to mutts. Most breeds, if allowed to return to the wild, and providing they could actually survive in the wild, will revert to a more simplified and generic appearance, much like the wild dingo. Evidence of dog breeds can be traced back to nearly 12,000 years. Archaeologists have been able to use the remains of dogs to help interpret past civilizations. When large, muscular dogs are found, it can be assumed that they were used for working, hunting and protection. However, when small breeds are found, it suggests that the culture was advanced enough to have time to develop dog breeds simply for pleasure. Below is a selection of natural bone and replica dog breeds that Skulls Unlimited stocks. Other breeds are available. Please call or email for availability and pricing. All dogs are canids and belong to the Order Carnivora.
