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
The dog is descended from the wolf. True
wolves appeared in Europe about one

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:
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.
