It is believed that the first dogs were wolves that were domesticated by humans at some point during the Paleolithic stone age. All the modern breeds of dogs are descended from these domesticated wolves.

The history of collars for dogs is a long one. It is believed that in Europe man first domesticated wolves by breeding docility into them, perhaps 35,000 years ago. The dog collar was a logical innovation. Although the functional dog collar has tens of thousands of years of history, the dog collar as a fashion accessory is a relatively recent innovation.

Did people have dogs in the Victorian era?

Yes, they did. There are many references to dogs in the Victorian books I have read, varying from lap dogs, to hunting dogs and vicious guard dogs and watch dogs. In point of fact, people have have dogs since the beginning of written history and likely before that. Dogs and humans seem to have a natural affinity.


What were dogs called before they were wild?

Nobody living knows. The history of dogs has not been proven, we're not even entirely positive when dogs first began to be domesticated, but what we do know is that it happened way before written history, so what people called dogs, if we even where smart enough to call them anything at all, before domestication is something that likely will never be known.
