This is just straight up false. The oldest dog breed and the one most generically related to the wolf is the fucking shih tzu. Humans have been breeding dogs for every purpose we could need since before recorded history.

Are you sure about that shih tzu factoid? Sounds like bs

  It’s one of the oldest dog breeds. Has less DNA in common than the Shiba Inu, but it’s number two last I checked. There’s paper floating around from a university in Hawaii that goes into more detail, but I couldn’t dig it up in a quick search. Will try to find it and reply with it when I have more time later.

  All the ancient Chinese breeds are the closest related to Wolf. Lhasa Apso, Maltesw,Tibetan Terrier, and Pekingese. Then you get into Nordic breeds like huskys
