This is more evidence of the same finding here -
" Regardless, this direct evidence suggests a longer timescale of wolf-dog population history and thus implies that the 11,000 - 16,000 years ago wolf-dog divergence inferred in a previous study should be recalibrated to 27,000–40,000 years ago.
To examine shared ancestry between the ancient Taimyr wolf and a larger set of modern-day dog populations, we used data from 48 dog breeds genotyped at 170,000 SNPs and computed D statistics to assess whether each breed shared more alleles with the Taimyr wolf than a set of 15 modern-day gray wolves . We found clear evidence of a closer relationship between the Taimyr wolf and the Siberian Husky (Z = 4.3, p = 0.000009), Greenland Sledge Dogs (Z = 3.6, p = 0.00016), and, to a lesser extent, Chinese Shar-Pei and Finnish Spitz (p < 0.05) compared to other dog breeds" Ancient Wolf Genome Reveals an Early Divergence of Domestic Dog Ancestors and Admixture into High- Latitude Breeds
