Bred for their smelling behavior by clueless whites who thought making their ears bigger made them smell better, despite animals that have superior senses of smell and depend on them to survive having smaller and pointy ears.

They do not need a nose that can detect more chemicals more accurately, they need to obsessively follow the stench of the quarry.
The russian wild dog mix has a more sensitive nose so it can be trained to identify a broader range of chemicals more accurately.

anon you are aware that the military and police use german shepherds, malinois, and even retrievers for detection, not hounds, for a reason, correct?
they don't have a better sense of smell. they are stubborn and stupid so things don't distract them from sniffing around for deer.
Bloodhound tracker goes brrr.
It'd be one thing if they used a German shepherd, but no they used a spitz. The package animal of the dog breed world.
Regardless bloody hounds are better at tracking and smelling. And a doberman holds the world record for longest tracking.

it has a better sense of smell than any western dog breed >western pig logic: if the ears are big it will smell better >russian chad logic: god is the best dog breeder, so dogs untouched by man will have the best sense of smell. from there we work.
Just like it is with undomesticated animals. It be energetic, loving and chaotic fun but just might start eating you alive if you fall down. Just make everyone around you promise to not blame the wild dog if instincts happen and ensure it'll go into good hands after.
I find it so funny that tards fly into a rage as soon as someone with more wits then them actually puts them in their place on a topic they know nothing about. Society will truly collapse at the hands of illiterates and mongoloids who seethe at intelligent discourse.
They're dogs in the sense that they're a part of Canidae, that's it. They split off from the more the more wolf-like dogs 1.7 million years ago. They're not as distant as something like a tanuki or a maned wolf, but they're still genetically distant enough that they can't breed with wolves or domestic dogs.

You are saying that african wild dogs can't breed with domestic dogs?
Got a source for that?

Oddly enough, they have the right amount of chromosomes to do so, but the fact that a hybrid has never been recorded, especially with the amount of actual feral domestic dogs in Africa, means something has to make it impossible.

I suppose it could be something mechanistic? Maybe fertilization does happen but the puppy can't be birthed alive? I wonder if there was any research made on the subject, probably not.
Either way, that's super interesting, thank you for the info.

More likely, they don't consider dogs as mates and just eat them.

Yet there have been recorded instances of Lions successfully mating and having offspring with leopards (who they usually kill out of competition/sometimes eat), soooo.

Wait seriously? I thought leopards and lions were WAY too far removed for that to work.

Nope, leopards appeared in the fossil record only 900,000 years ago and descended directly from lions themselves. Also lions can easily hybridize with jaguars (one of the more basal members of Panthera)

African wild dogs are more closely related to dholes than the are to other canids so if the could hybridize with something it would be dholes. Neither species habitat overlap though.

Dholes had a ridiculous range before the Ice Age, and could be found from parts of Africa to as far as Mexico.
Except fur seals aren't sea lions nor seals, and are their own distinct group, though they share close common ancestry with sea lions. Froth at the mouth, simpleton.

have a nice day. You're much too uppity over a few animal facts.
Not that strong, their teeth are simply more sharp as an adaptation for hypercarnivory unlike than other more dog-esque canids like wolves and coyotes and, well, dogs. This also earns them the nickname "land piranhas" amongst some

Man this thread was a perfectly good opportunity to post rare painted dog pics and y'all just being...
Actually worse than a Hyena
yeah man you can adopt them just fine you'll be good
personally i'd recommend these australian shiba inu mixes instead though, great pups

Nothing wrong with the occasional backbreeding once in a while to keep the bloodline sharp.
They should do that fox experiment on these to make a domesticated version
>Do fox experiment on them
Do we really need a shitter dog 2.0?
I ask that every time someone wants to adopt a wolf or wolfdog
That's an improvement actually. Modern dogs are fucking pathetic. Wolfdog bros have taste.

it will kill you
You don't really think african wild dogs are actual dogs do you?
Relax anon, he's not THAT stupid
>where can I adopt
But I've been wrong before
>Umm you see, African wild dogs are not ACTUAL dogs because ummm, because they have one less claw on their paws!!!
Shut up nerd

OK I UNDERSTAND THANKS
So calling them "dogs" is a misnomer. They should instead be called African wolves.
They're not really wolves either. They should instead be called canines of color.
Neither is the maned wolf but here we are.
Can be shortened to Camorons
you remind of the pseuds who go "erm actually that's a sea lion" when they see a fur seal

I'm not the same anon as the one(s) you were insulting earlier.
Wow, that was a whole lotta' nothing.

tbh, samegay or not.
HOW ARE THEY NOT BITCH?
how strong is their bite compared to a regular dog (no pitbull)? How strong is it compared to a pitbull's?
Not that strong, their teeth are simply more sharp as an adaptation for hypercarnivory unlike than other more dog-esque canids like wolves and coyotes and, well, dogs. This also earns them the nickname "land piranhas" amongst some
>pit bull jaw strength
If you want something that can snap a human forearm then get a Kangal. Triple the jaw strength of an average pit.
>will it behave like a loyal collie
just try it, OP, slather yourself in bacon grease first tho
>wants to adopt a wild animal
>wonders if it will behave like a wild animal
hhhmm
