> While all dogs are relatively closely related to the wolf, my guess is the Ibizan (f), an ancient breed. If true, has this genetic proximity been confirmed through DNA, Lar?
The Ibizan that presently exists was shown to be a re-invented breed, no more than 200 years old.
Yes, this was a major study of genetic drift in dogs.
So, f is wrong. We're down to five breeds.
