indeed, did it come to be that there are so many different breeds of dog? Upon approaching the subject in question, one must first ask, “What are dogs?” Evolutionarily speaking, the modern domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) is the descendent of an ancestor held in common with the grey wolf (Canis lupus) (Melina, 2014). As their Latin nomenclature suggests, dogs are only a subspecies of wolf. Therefore, no great genetic misalignments exist to prevent successful reproduction between breeds (hence
Introduction Origin: The focus of this management plan will be on a subspecies of the gray wolf, commonly known as the Mexican gray wolf and scientifically as Canis lupus baileyi (Wikipedia 2). Another name for the Mexican gray wolf is “the lobo” and this species originates from North America.

further hypothesized by father-son team S.J. Olsen and J.W. Olsen (1977) that the domestication of dogs started in China. They proposed that, starting with a small subspecies of wolf, humans changed it into the modern Chinese/Mongolian subspecies of Canis lupus chanco. There is another hypothesis that even Cro-Magnons may have domesticated some breeds of dog. A piece of a dog’s right jaw was reported from a Cro-Magnon site (Nobis, 1979); the jaw was dated back to 14,000 B.P. No matter what conflicting

wolves released in the late 80s/early 90s after they were bred in captivity, the population reached around 120 wolves in 2012. Since then, however, it has declined, and in the 2015, only 50-75 wolves remained (“Causes of mortality in wild red wolves (Canis rufus) 2012–2015”). The red wolf has massive ecological, economic, and cultural value. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, it is both an umbrella and a keystone species. As an umbrella species, efforts to conserve the red wolf will also
The Reintroduction of the Gray Wolf to Yellowstone Gauss’ Law states that no two organisms can occupy the same ecological niche without excluding the other, but what happens when man gets involved with nature and tries to introduce a species where it doesn’t belong which in turn provides a second organism to fill the same niche as the first? The results of human intervention have often been disastrous for the organism that we’re supposedly helping. Humans often times do not understand the
dog, and it didn’t just happen overnight. Dogs are a man’s best friend, have evolved from wolves, and then were domesticated.

Over the past several years, the gray wolf, native to the Wisconsin area, has been listed federally as an endangered species due to the graphic and horrific treatment they had received during the industrialization periods of America, when they were frowned upon and hated because they are predatory creatures and did, on occasion, attack livestock and pets. Because the government was encouraging the hunting, including bounties for the animals, the wolves were hunted to near extinction. However, now
