B Y J I E D U

The domestic dog (Canis lupus
familiar is when considered a
subspecies of the wolf or Canis
familiar is when considered a distinct
species) is a member of the genus
Cans (canines), which forms part of
the wolf-like canids, and is the most
widely abundant terrestrial carnivore.
The dog and the extant gray wolf are
sister taxa's modern wolves are not
closely related to the wolves that were
first domesticated, which implies that
the direct ancestor of the dog is
extinct. The dog was the first species
to be domesticated and has been
selectively bred over millennia for
various behaviors, sensory capabilities,
and physical attributes.

DOGS BARK
• Dogs bark for a variety of reasons. Dogs don't bark just because they can (though it
might seem that way at times). They do not bark just to annoy you and your neighbors,
nor do they bark for spite or revenge.

HOW MANY BREEDS OF DOGS ARE THERE
IN THE WORLD
• This is a difficult question to answer since many varieties of dogs that might be
classifiable as separate breeds are not recognized by the various international kennel
clubs and breed registration groups. However we can at least give a general count,
knowing that it will most certainly be an underestimation.
