Are there wild dogs?

There have always been wild dogs present in the wild. Wild dogs are the origin of domesticated dogs. Dogs were domesticated millions of years ago by people as hunting aids and companions and obviously not all wild dogs could be domesticated due to the number of wild dogs present on the earth in comparison to the number of people in those times, so some wild dogs remain, though the number of wolves are becoming minimal in comparison to domesticated dogs.


What year was the first breed of dog alive?

The present lineage of dogs was domesticated from gray wolves about 15,000 years ago. Though remains of domesticated dogs have been found in Siberia and Belgium from about 33,000 years ago, none of those lineages seem to have survived the Last Glacial Maximum. Although mDNA testing suggests an evolutionary split between dogs and wolves around 100,000 years ago, no specimens prior to 33,000 years ago are clearly morphologically domesticated dog. I hope that answers your question!
