Ancient dog breeds Totally Explained

Everything about Ancient Dog Breeds totally explained

Fourteen ancient breeds of dog have recently been identified through advances in DNA analysis. These breeds of domesticated dog show the fewest genetic differences from wolves. The breeds are geographically diverse, including dogs from Siberia, Japan, Alaska, China, Tibet, and Africa.
DNA from dogs of 85 AKC-registered breeds (5 individuals per breed in most cases) were tested by Parker et al. This evolution can be seen also in the high proportion of European clade in Asian breeds close to Europe, like Saluki and Samoyed, while a geographically remote Nordic spitz, the Siberian Husky, doesn't show such a replacement of the original wolfdog structure. Also, as there are some 400 known dog breeds (of which the AKC recognizes 157), it's possible that an extended study would reveal additional "ancient" breeds.
