Hello & welcome back to Hb.kennel .
Today we're gone talk about wolf and dog hybridization .

When livestock guardian dog enjoying wolves presents.
These videos goes viral in the internet . Most of the people were shocked , because livestock
guardian dogs were supposed to fight against wolf . The first question come into your mind
, it is : what is going on ? How this is possible ? Clips
were recorded by amateur cameras . Partly by shepherd men . Of course ordinary people
can not perceive these situations . But it is not the end of the world . Livestock guardian
dog are seen with the wolves togather , special in breeding season.
This happened often . Breeding season is the time , wolves & dogs make peace together . They
become less aggressive . Dog can scent a female wolf from long distance , same is the opposite
, male wolf can scent the female dog pheromones in km . The most unpleasant situation is to
see how Turkish Sheepdog is member of wolf pack . The bad guys are shown in security
camera . This is one of the most interesting images you can see . One of them is shepherd
dog mixing with a wolf pack . He is eating with the wolf , you can see a dog with them
( wolves) . Wolves are eating & he is waiting , he is waiting for his turn . It is an interesting
image & awkward in the same time . This dog looks like a kangal . it is very possible
, because male kangal mingled with wolf in estrus period.
But there is a situation something strange as you can see , he is waiting for his turn
to eat . In this clip . This male dog share same carcass
with a female wolf . There is enough food for both of them . This footage is caught
in Iran . Male dog feeds together with a female wolf . Looks like they both know each others
for long time . They looks like perfect couple.
They have long relationship together . Wolf and dog are interfertile . This meaning
, they can breed and produce viable offspring, both wolf & dog have 78 chromosomes . In
other words wolves can interbreed with dogs and their offspring are capable of producing
offspring themselves . Although hybrid Although hybrids can occur naturally in the wild, but
hybrids are rare, because the territorial nature of wolves leads them, to protect their
home ranges from intruding canines such as dogs, and other wolves , including these hybrids.
The most frequent dogs which are intebred with the wolf are mountain shepherd dogs . Because
mountain shepherd dog most of the time share the same territory with the wolves . And frequently
they are more expose to each others . In same genetic study : between primitive mountain
shepherd dogs and wolves , in South east Europe and Asia showed that 10 - 15% of population
of wolves had dog ancestors & the same was for the dogs too . 10 - 15 % of them had wolf
ancestors . The results of study suggest that wolf - dog hybridization is common event in
the areas when large livestock guardian dogs are held in traditional way and that gene
flow between dogs and gray wolves , was an important force influencing gene pool of dogs
for millennia since early domestication . Sometimes villagers & shepherd men interbreed wolf and
dog . To have better offspring , but most of the purpose are unknown.
This was all for today.
