I had a Dutch exchange student live with me in high school. He is currently a model, DJ, and bartender in Amsterdam. If he can't show me a fun time then I don't know if it is possible.

There is a Dutch breed that is half-wolf, half-German Shepherd. Supposed to be unbelievably smart, strong, and loyal. Unfortunately, I don't think they are exported.


Growing up my neighbors had two half-wolf, half-huskies. They were giant and they were intimidating as hell.

I was scared to mow the grass along their fence-line when they were out. They were big enough they probably could have jumped the fence flat-footed if they wanted.

That said, how the frick did they get little fricking dogs, like Pomeranians?

I've often wondered the same thing.

Cosmos did an awesome portion of an episode on this. The first "domesticated" dogs wouldn't be all that awesome.

Was that the same one that showed the "domesticated" foxes? Those where the stuff of nightmares.

I would reckon the lives of the first domesticated dogs were extremely challenging. I would suspect they were under a great deal of ridicule and open hostility from wild dogs. I don't suspect there was much support for the domesticated dogs from other domesticated dogs who probably felt these usurpers were trying to move in on their turf. Roll over. Play dead. What a poser. Sell out mfers. Can't be trusted those first domesticated dogs. Their turning their backs on a life of fleas and freedom for the occasional milkbone. Pretty complicated decision for the early dog community. Great thread.

I would be willing to bet the process of domestication was laden with a significant amount of bumps in the road. Several instances of dogs forgetting they were domesticated and maybe bitting someones face off. Bro, what are you doing? We aint killing these mfers no mo. We were suppossed to be rolling over for leftovers. Oh you're right. My bad.

Next thing you know you'll be saying stuff like..."they should go to their own schools......you're a rabid anti-dogite."

Didn't even know this existed until 3-4 days ago. Saw one as a patient. A little high strung but overall well behaved.

I had a Rot-Husky mix. He was a fantastic friend, and lived a good 17-years!

Yes, a dog is simply a wolf with Stockholm Syndrome

No see, early domesticated dogs were actual wolves with Stockholm Sydrome, which is awesome
