The second fact was Golden Retrievers and some other gundogs, did have a high numbers of similar traits to the wolf. Although, they have fewer physical features. It was concluded that these dogs needed hunDng skills to be retained to enable them to work. People therefore bred the dogs with the traits and the looks were a secondary factor in the creaDon of the breed. InteresDngly, further research demonstrated that the more naturally wolflike a breed, or those breeds with the higher number of wolflike behaviours, tended to socialise be2er in a group. Re-examining the wolf behaviour In wolves, with the excepDon of unusually large packs, a single breeding pair is dominant to everyone else. This pair uses their dominance to suppress the breeding of other pack members. Dominant female wolves are aggressive all year round, and use unprovoked a2acks to prevent other females from maDng. Male wolves become most aggressive during the maDng season. Younger and subordinate pack members are usually the offspring of the breeding pair from previous years. Juveniles are forced to stay with their parents, because meeDng another wolf pack before they become fully grown is dangerous. What is established is a ‘family’ with parents acDng as guides for their offspring. Yes there are rules to follow and the alpha male and female ensure that these are enforced. But they protect, teach and provide the right environment for their young unDl the Dme arrives and they can leave the nest - so to speak. Yet geneDc invesDgaDons have shown when it comes to What we can learn from feral dogs diet, there are 11 differences between dogs and wolves. The theory being that dogs have moved away from wolves These are dogs who have been domesDcated, but have returned to with the intervenDon of human manipulaDon. Equally, a wilder existence. These include dogs who live completely there is the theory that the wolves of today are independently from humans, like dingoes, and stray dogs that descended from a wolflike animal as are dogs. They have survive by scavenging human garbage. Many populaDons of feral evolved differently from the foundaDon wolf. dogs have not been intenDonally bred by humans for generaDons, and are a great model of how dogs would behave without humans. Is the answer a pack leader? Feral dogs have a different system. While some feral dog groups have a dominance hierarchy that predicts priority to food and mates, this hierarchy is not as strict as in wolves. There is no dominant pair leading the group. Instead, the leader of a feral dog pack is the one who has the most affiliaDve relaDonships. When the pack decides where to go, they do not follow the most dominant dog — instead, they follow the dog with the most friends It’s not just behaviour Research comparing dogs and wolves conDnues to take place and if looking at an increasing number of aspects. Recent studies have been invesDgaDng the idea that raw food diets are more like those of a wolf. Consequently they are be2er for our dogs. Dogs are not wolves. It is Dme people started treated them as a unique species with a mind and social system very different from their ancestors. The latest research has shown that the wolves we know today were evolved from an ancestor shared by the dogs. So the two species are not quite the same. Dog’s do need good manners, they need to know their limits. A leader will do this. Today, there is an increase in people regarding their dogs as almost their children. DoDng on them. The rise in the Toy breeds, or cute looking combinaDon of breeds that appeal to our parenDng behaviours is seen by many as dac. However, with the breeds that have evolved away from the wolf, have more traits of a wolf cub that needs parental care, then maybe this behaviour is right for these dogs.
Old Dogs Don’t Die Old dogs don’t die: they can’t. They’ve merely run up ahead; they’re waiDng for us just out of sight. Close your eyes late at night and you may smell his musky odour, or perhaps hear his snuffle from the next room. Pay a2enDon and you may feel his nose on your hand or the back of your calf. When your final day comes, you can go on to meet him; he’s never lec you and never will and when you close your eyes for the last Dme, you’ll open them again and be met with his bright eyes and wagging tail. Old dogs don’t die, not those who take the biggest chunks of our hearts with them when they leave us. Those dogs are inextricably part of our souls and they go with us wherever we are. Though we may not see them, we know they’re there because our heart is sDll beaDng; we sDll breathe and those of us who have been truly touched by a good dog know our lives really started the day we met them. Magnificent dogs don’t die. They shepherd our dreams and only allow the good ones through the gates of our consciousness. They watch over us as much as they did in life and the moment when we step just barely outside of death or disaster, it’s because they moved our feet, or stopped short in front of us as they did in life. You see, a good dog is something only given to a few people. They are a gic from the universe ad, though they’re with us only a short Dme, they never really leave us. They are loyalty and love perfected and once we are graced with that sort of love we can never lose it. We merely lose sight of it for a Dme and that is out fault; for how can love like that ever go away? It can’t and never will. For those brave souls trade their hearts for ours and they beat together beyond sickness, beyond death. They are ours and we are theirs, for every sunrise and every sunset, unDl the sun blazes its last and we once again join the stars.
