Most of us don't realize just how long our canine companions have been around, would you believe more than 12,000 years? Our canine companions are considered the most diverse species on our planet. Our doggies come in all shapes, sizes, and have varied behavioral traits. There are now more than 350 different canine types worldwide.
The number is astounding and you might even ask how did that happen? As far back as 3 to 4 thousands years ago; there were several different distinct domesticated types of dogs. People selectively bred dogs for desirable traits and tried to avoid the undesirable traits, even before the science of genetics was developed.
