Chow Chow Origins as a guarding, hunting dog
Canine genetic
research published in the journal Science in May 2004
showed that 14 of 85 breeds examined have a "genetic fingerprint" with
considerable similarity to the wolf and form a cluster considered most like the
early domestic dogs. However, according to two analyses, seven of these
14 have the oldest genetic patterns: Chow Chow and Shar Pei [China],
Akita and Shiba [Japan], Basenji [Africa], Siberian
Husky [Northeast Siberia]
and the Alaskan Malamute [Northwest Alaska].
