Early Dogs
The dog is descended from the wolf. True wolves
appeared in Europe about one million years ago and in
the Americas some 700,000 years later. Dog remains
estimated to be about 14,000 years old have been found
in Germany, and younger remains have been found in
Israel (about 13,500 years old) and Idaho (about 10,500
years old). It is probable that the dog was the first animal
to be domesticated, most likely around 15,000 years ago.
Domestication may have occurred independently in a
number of different areas of the world.
Each Breed section includes detailed information about the particular breed, Breeder Listings,
listings of Clubs from around the world, breed rescue organizations, as well as breed-specific
books and other merchandise that can be purchased online through various affiliates.
Note: The majority of the dog breeds listed in this directory are recognized by one of these all-
breed registries:
This website will be useful for:
- dog owners whose pet has
been found to have an inherited condition
- potential dog owners who
want help in avoiding these problems when choosing a pet
- veterinarians looking for
current information on both well-known and more obscure genetic disorders, including diagnostic and therapeutic information
- dog breeders who are
looking for suggestions on how to avoid these conditions in their lines of dogs

The breed guide also includes rare breeds as well as those considered to be "breeds under
development" and/or "evolving breeds" which have not yet gained recognition by the major breed
registries listed above. For these breeds, breed-specific registries are listed. Most of these rare
breeds are recognized by the American Rare Breed Association (ARBA) - www.arba.org and ,
where this is the case, it is indicated as such. Other alternative all-breed registries may also
recognize these breeds; however, these are not listed. (For additional information regarding
Breed Registries, please CLICK HERE.
We do not recommend, endorse or support any one breeder over another; however, we will
never knowingly list a breeder who runs a puppy mill, backyard breeding of any type, or sells
their dogs to retailers. If you are aware of such a "breeder" and we have unintentionally listed
them here, please bark at us with any details you can provide and the "breeder" will be
immediately removed from the listing. We reserve the right to refuse any listing for any reason
as well as the right to remove any listing at our sole discretion.
Your feedback is important: While helping us achieve our goal of becoming the most
comprehensive dog related website in New England, you are also helping to ensure that only
good, responsible breeders are listed. We thank you in advance for your participation.
