Just a variation on that “+1” thing done in some forums when one person agrees with another’s post. Reads “plus infinity squared” in longhand; just a bit of hyperbole on my part.

Coincidentally milkbones were invented between 11,000 and 34,000 years ago.

And to this very day the iconic Chinese dog is called a Chow.

Might be closer to the truth than you’d think, though I could quibble on the details. (The good bishop got a little TOO speculative there, methinks.)
Why we should even expect to see the original 7 day creation world is beyond me. It had continuity with the Garden of Eden, which is now out of view.
We could call it a two-universe theory.

Makes perfect sense. Figured they were too close for happenstance. But then I’m a Basset Hound sorta guy. But I surely appreciate the sheer grace and power of a Sheppard.

Glad to see this thread. Based on the extreme differences in physical qualities between all the various breeds - it’s not impossible to believe that human ancestors domesticated dozens of wild ‘canines’ that are now extinct.
Hard to believe that primitive humans, on all the different continents; with the range of climate, terrain, flora and fauna, discovered and domesticated just the one grey wolf.
