I have heard there are two schools of thought on the dog and wolves. Some believe that all dogs didn’t evolve from the wolves.

What is a Dixie Dingo?

I have heard that at least one of my dogs came from dogs known as the Texas Woolies(it was a dog); but can’t find much on them.

I googled Texas Woolie dog and found out it is a goat. Lots of pictures. Why “dog” is part of the name I can't even imagine.

Where did dogs first appear? DNA points to Europe

"What is a Dixie Dingo?

Read the article linked in post #17 above.

"Genetic (mitochondrial DNA) testing being performed at the University of South Carolina, College of Science and Mathematics, indicates that these dogs, related to the earliest domesticated dogs, are the remnant descendants of the feral pariah canids who came across the Bering land mass 8,000 to 11,000 years ago as hunting companions to the ancestors of the Native Americans."
