Dog Genetics

Today, class, I will be lecturing on dog genetics. As you may know, our canine friends are descended from wolves. How did wolves turn in to dogs? Humans messed with their DNA by selective breeding. Want to create a dog with a long tail? Only let long tail wolves mate.

Dogs are wolf mutants.

What can we learn from this? The more your dog looks like a wolf, the closer your dog is to nature. The wimpier your dog is, the more your dog is a man-made freak. I know this is harsh, but it is the truth.

You homework assignment is to use the visual scale below to rank your dog’s wolf-freak level.
