Those tiny, fluffy dogs walking down the street may look cute but beware — they probably have some wolf in them. That is the discovery announced on Monday by U.S. scientists, who were surprised to ...

Most modern dogs have wolf DNA from relatively recent interbreeding. Here's which breeds are the most and least 'wolfish.' Most modern dog breeds have small amounts of wolf ancestry from long after ...

Many dog owners may not be surprised to learn that most dogs still carry some wolf DNA in their genomes. Domestication has changed dogs dramatically from their wolf ancestors, but most do still have ...

New research led by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History reveals that the majority of dogs living today have low but detectable ...

New research suggests that most modern dogs carry a small but detectable dose of wolf DNA acquired after domestication. Moreover, this lingering wolf ancestry has nudged traits from body size and ...

Most pet dogs carry a little wolf inside them; tiny snippets of wolf DNA that slipped into dog genomes after domestication. A ...
