Saw a cool program about the "breed" movement (dog eugenics, ew) that got popular and resulted in the breeds we now know. Till I saw it, I never realized how relatively recent it had all been... but that explains why, ferally, they revert back to a few basic types in only a few generations. It also explains why pack mentality remains so strong in them, however we think we may domesticate them. They really do domesticate US. If you have a dog in your life, you are probably closely related to Romulus, Remus, and others (real or apocryphal) adopted by wolves.

GO DOGS!
