Dingoes are actually feral dogs. Wolf to dog to dingo.
There's a breed or two that are suspected to have their roots in foxes. Can't remember exactly which ones. Fenic foxes specifically.

Domestication shows up in fossil records often starting around 14,000 years ago, with spotty signs of domestication beginning to appear around 33,000 years ago. DNA markers seem to indicate dogs genetically diverged from wolves as far back as 100,000 years ago, possibly due to early domestication attempts.
The silver fox experiment in Russia showed that selective breeding for temperamental traits to humans also has an affect on physical characteristics over time. The friendly foxes began to have a distinct appearance separate from the original breed as a result of selective breeding of characteristics not related to appearance.
And I wouldn't be shocked if corgis had some fox in their genetics just based on facial structure and the independent streak in many of them.

quote:The last documentary I watched said every single dog can be traced to wolves, and specifically, wolves in east Asia/China. I'd like to see/read about anything different from that.
