Hi Leigh

From the research I have done in writing this article and the others on Wolf Origins seems to indicate that the modern Timber Wolf may be a mix of ‘gray wolf’ and ‘domestic dog’. This is true in Australia, with very few dingoes being a pure strain.

Thank you for your comment and I hope to see you back again.

I recently read an article that stated all Domestic Dogs are descended from Wolves, which for me, is easy to believe. But it also stated, that modern day Timber Wolves are part Grey Wolf and part Domestic Dog. Is this true?

Hi Bunny.

Yes, you have to wonder where the curly tail gesture comes from.

Perhaps some other readers may know and would care to comment.
