20 Most Ancient Dog Breeds In The World ! 

Which dog breed do you consider to be the most ancient and oldest, and why?

Wow😮

To follow a timeline. The Samoyed and Siberian husky are the oldest breed, it followed over the Bering landbridge, with the people that was migrating east. After the sea level rised, and by interbreeding with Timber wolf, they grew larger, and became the Alaskan Malamute. They spread east over with the further migration of the inuits, and developed into the Tatlan bear dog and the Canadian Inuit dog (Qimmiq). The Greenland sled dog is the youngest breed, and have been there for ca 3.500 years. To be clear. What we know as Siberian husky today, is not the same breed as the paelo siberian breed, that was the foundation of allmost all polar/ spitz breeds.

I have traced the relationship of man and Basenji to at least ten thousand years ago. They are considered to be genetically older than other domestic canine breeds. Having had nine over the last thirty years I can tell you that they are quite different from your average domestic breed.

Cool

BEAUTIFUL CUTE & TOUGH DOGS THERE❤ BTW THAT CUTE COLORFUL 🇵🇭 MAP👍🏻

How did you miss that the Samoyed is one of the oldest breeds. Representations with identifiable Samoyed characteristics are found on rock carvings in Siberia as far south as the Altai mountains. The Eskimos which developed the Malamute did not even enter North America until millennia after humans crossed Beringia before post Ice Age sea rise.

No Alabai (Centra Asian shepherd) over 5000 years old breed?

I do not think it is «canon dog», but rather «Canaan dog»

❤

where is the Alabai???

Why were the sloughi and azawakh left off the list?

Akita's are not ancient. They were bred up from the smaller Shiba like bear and probably bird hunting dogs. They were bred for dogfighting by introducing German Shepards, St Bernards (where the pinto and white markings came from), and other large European breeds. The American Akita's are more bear like, which resembled the old Akita's. The present day Japanese Akita's are more stream like their modern bullet train, and compact. I guess you could use Sonny Liston as a representative of the old fashioned Akita's, and Mohammed Ali as the representative of today's Japanese Akita's.

40 000 years ago....😂😂😂

Who is the quality control person for this video? Several items need to be double-checked, especially the numbering system.. Everything was fine until the end when #2 became #19 and #1 became #20. There were other mistakes, as mentioned by other commenters. 😲😧

Allow me to correct you about the Mexican hairless dog, first: the correct name is XOLOITZCUITLE, second: it is a very ancient Mexican breed, approximately 7,000 years old and was revered by the Aztecs; it has been the hunting companion of the natives from Central and South America for about 3000 years. Finally, I would just like to respectfully ask you that when you refer to the American continent, and very specifically Mexico, that you do not use the USA flag because it is very offensive to us Mexicans. America is not just USA, is a continent full of wonders, beautiful people and great cultures and counties, therefore their individuality must be respected. The USA has not had that attitude towards the rest of the American countries and has lost for the esteem of most of them.

Please learn how to pronounce the dog names correctly. Look them up on RU-vid!!!

I was enjoying this until live baiting was used in the Saluki segment. This is a vile and disgusting practice and there was no need to include it 🤬

MOST OF THESE DOGS ARE FROM CHINA? LIKE WTF? HOW DOES THAT HAPPENED!
