Julieanne Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Is what I think every time I look at Rafeal or any other Husky. Even though they're not all perfect, to think that this is what people have created over years of breeding always amazes me, has this thought ever come across to you? After all breeds of dogs would not exist without humans. I'm thankful to all the breeders out their for continuing this wonderful breed. Not a big discussion maker but something I've always thought about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julieanne Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I agree, I think the term "Purebred" makes people forget where dogs come from and that their would be no "purebreds" if it was left to BYB's. Eventually they would be way out of standard and possibly not look much like the breed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I've always wondered how come if dogs are all descended from wolves, why are there are so many different breeds that look absolutely nothing alike whatsoever. What happended to change their genetic make up so drastically? I understand that behaviours such as herding dogs, hunting dogs etc...are taught behaviours that are partially man made over time but you can't teach dna how to behave, it is what it is!

Julieanne Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sorry, I meant mixes too, but mixes came from purebreds and If it is some kind of Husky mix I meant they too are amazing. The breed had to exist first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It truly makes me wonder. Also interesting is the assumption that huskies are closest to wolves, from what I've read though it is apparently German Shepherds.

Emma Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 It truly makes me wonder. Also interesting is the assumption that huskies are closest to wolves, from what I've read though it is apparently German Shepherds. That's a pretty common assumption isn't it. I think it's the facial features such as the shape of the eyes and head, the ruff of fur around the face etc.. that look very 'wolf like' and because people see this they automatically assume they are more wolf than most other dogs. I'm not sure about GSD's but rather oddly I thought a chichuaua was more closely related to a wolf than a husky but then my brain is a very strange thing and I'm probably talking nonsense! lmao. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julieanne Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hang on, I'm not to sure now if I had the correct information there about German Shepherds. Will have to check. Some say none are and others say it is the German Shepherd, I really don't know lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 As I understand it Huskies have no more "Wolf" in them than a Chihuahua. They are simply the breed that RESEMBLES the wolf more than any other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
