inspired by the dog threads on the OT

man, i'm probably going to get blasted for this, and that's why i posted it on the OB instead of the OT..
what did dogs do before they started becoming pets and used for work, hunting, etc? were they just roaming around like wild animals until they were domesticated?? did breeds like retreivers, boxers, collies, pits, shepards, etc just live in the wilderness and in packs??
i understand people are more than likely going to flame this thread, but it's a serious question.. were all dogs wild before they started living with and around humans?

At some point yes, but there have been domesticated dogs with humans for thousands of years...

Yes. 6000 thousand years of breeding got different looking critters now.

No. All dogs can be traced back to wolves. Man started tinkering with selective breeding aboout 6,000 years ago. The domestication of wolves is one of the watershed moments of modern man.

We were all once wild animals too....remember we were all monkeys and apes at one time

Dogs as we know them were bred from wolves or possibly the ancestors of modern wolves way back in the gap. Way way back. All the breeds we know now are the result of human breeding over millennia. Artificial selection if you will.
I didn't read the thread, just the OP, so I assume this has been covered.
