To be sure, and archaeological sites for 14 thousand years have seen the dog to accompany humans, before they are exceptional cases.

Genetic analysis indicates that the first dogs are probably descended from the wolf in East Asia. These are domesticated dogs then migrated around the world where humans following out that these are addressed, including the space.

The oldest groups of dogs, which are most similar to their ancestors, wolves, are mainly Asian and African races. All other races are descended from these 14, according to recent genetic studies:

The Basenji African race, which is characterized not bark, but emit a sound like a bell, they are good hunters and trackers.

The Chow Chow is of Mongolian origin, then introduced into China, as a hunter and used to pull sleds in Manchuria. They think you might have about 4000 years old.

They have descriptions Korean 4000 years ago and mentioned, is believed to evolve from Asian wolves. For centuries lived only in the imperial city China, where they had a special protocol in which a failure to them could be punished with death. The Afghan hound or greyhound has at least some 2000 years, in the area of ​​modern Afghanistan. The Tibetan Terrier, also has about 2000 years old, at least. In Tibet began to separate large and small dogs, and thus came to have these little dogs called Tibetan Apso or Tibetan Terrier.

Symbol of the Han dynasty are believed to have originated in Tibetan Mastiffs or the Chow Chow, but genetic studies have placed among the oldest breeds. The Shih Tzu is an ancient Chinese race, it is believed that about 3000 years old. Its origin would be from the Tibetan Lhasa Apso. It was for centuries the pet dog of Chinese empresses. The Akita or Akita Inu (not the American Akita is later), are from Japan. It is the oldest race in Japan, it has references to them from the earliest times of recorded history. The Shiba Inu is a small breed Japanese have more than 2000 years old.

Since 1936 a national monument of Japan. Akita is similar to but smaller. The Alaskan Malamute is the oldest sled dogs, is originally from? Arctic, bred by Eskimos. They are famous for their beauty and strength, often confused with the Siberian Husky. Siberian Husky Siberian Husky or are very similar to the above, but are originally from Siberia, Very similar to the wolves. Also very old, a direct descendant of the first sled dog, in turn descended from wolves.
