A tortured research train that started with something completely different led me the discovery that my little Teddy is an example of one of the 14 'ancient breeds' (meaning that of the 85 breeds tested in a particular study, he is one of 14 with a genetic fingerprint considerably similar to that of a wolf). Cool!
And, furthermore, of the 14 ancient breeds, two additional studies indicate that he is one of the 7 breeds with the oldest genetic patterns (the 7 Ancient of Ancients being the Chow Chow, Shar Pei, Akita, Shiba Inu (of which Teddy is one), Basenji, Siberian Husky and the Alaskan Malamute). Super cool!
