National Geographic on the Origins of Dogs

National Geographic has a new documentary on the origins of dogs entitled and Man created Dog. The opening description:

If humans were as varied as dogs we would range in height up to 22 feet tall and a weight of more than 1,000 pounds.

It's on TV Friday, August 13 at 9 pm (and no doubt other dates and times as well).

  2. The trailers look great. So glad the livestock guardian dogs are being profiled, as they are my next canine investment. It hasn't been that many years ago that I didn't even know they existed. Yes, I knew some of the breeds, but didn't know anyone was using them as originally intended. Now, I've combed through the breeds, done a ton of research and have narrowed my breed interest. Next up is farm visitations. What's old is new again, and there seems to be a huge resurgence in the use of LGDs.

    Seahorse--> word verification: remedi. I hope they'll be mine!
