I want a domestic dog from the canis family.
Dogs are so lovely. What type of dog would you want?
Dogs vary a lot in shape and size. I would love a German Shepherd.
Are German Shepherds a new breed or have they been around for a long time?
The breed is new with the origin from 1899.
Thats very recent. What purpose were they bred for?
I believe for protection and maybe herding animals. They are awesome to society and are mans best friend.
How long do you think they live for?
was the first species to be domesticated and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.
Their long association with humans has led dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior and they are able to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canid species. Dogs vary widely in shape, size and colors. They perform many roles for humans, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship and, more recently
Czechoslovakian Wolfdog
The Czechoslovak Wolfdog (, ) is a relatively new dog breed that traces its original lineage to an experiment conducted in 1955 in Czechoslovakia. After initially breeding working line German Shepherd Dogs with Carpathian wolves "(Canis lupus lupus)", a plan was worked out to create a breed that would have the temperament, pack mentality, and trainability of the German Shepherd Dog and the strength, physical build and stamina of the Carpathian wolf.
The breed was engineered as attack dogs for use in military special operations
