Introduction

The evolution of dog breeds is an interesting story of human involvement in the domestication of a wild animal. The domestic dog is called Canis familiaris The artificial selection of dog breeds has led to diversity in size, conformation, and pelage seen today in domestic canines[1]. The dog evolved approximately 12,000 years ago when early humans domesticated animals and plants for farming during the Stone Age[2].
