Canine Surprise: Dogs Aren’t Descended From Today’s Wolves

4. I Know This Isn't The Major Topic Of The Moment...

However, I can't even remember HOW LONG I've wanted an answer to this question! I'm not even sure this article does it for me either. As one who prefers larger dogs, and have 2 Chocolate Labs right now, this subject has fascinated me. I've bought many books hoping to get a definitive explanation, but nothing yet.

But do tell, how do you get all the little tiny dogs we see today. I understand breeding as time has passed, but from wolves way down... I wonder if the real answer will ever be known.

One of the cutest dogs I've ever seen were miniature rottweilers! Kind of jaw dropping, but I can understand how THIS could happen. But from the many German Shepherds I've owned and other larger dogs it's hard to figure how the tea cup poodles were bred.
