Is undying loyalty a wolf trait or a dog trait? If the former, why would such a thing even exist? If the latter, how did humans breed those qualities into dogs? Strictly talking about their relationship with humans here.

Are those blue eyes real? The having a different eye colour in wolves make any significant difference?
Huskoid mutants blue eyes are a bad thing. They have no pigment in their eyes and no tapetum lucidum, so they can't see in the dark, they go snow blind, and their eyes shine red like humans.
Collie type dogs do not have this problem.
What is the difference between dogs and wolves anyway? Behaviorally speaking.
wolves are low functioning autistic introverts and dogs are high functioning autistic extroverts
behaviorally speaking
Wolves are smarter than dogs though.
wolves can cooperate with wolves and dogs but not people
dogs can not cooperate with other dogs effectively but quickly learn to cooperate with people
wolves are also more likely to continue trying to solve an impossible task while dogs ask for help.
smarter?
Wolves trick dogs and dogs owners and kill them(dogs).
Yes and coyotes place prank phone calls
Sorry bro wolves and dogs are dumb as fuck. No smarter than a pig. If you want a real smart animal to lust over may I recommend the humble raven?
Coyotes are capable of tricking your dog into thinking that it's his friend and luring it for a kill.
>Is undying loyalty a wolf trait or a dog trait?
Yes
Come on, now Is it both?
Did dogs evolve from the wolves we see everyday or do they just share a common ancestor?
They share a common ancestor. But I doubt they've changed much since then.
What's this about them evolving twice in different time periods from two different wolves?
The second time went extinct. Asian dogs were too chad and fucked them out of existence.
>The second time went extinct
What were they?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuegian_dog?useskin=vector
dogs evolved from an extinct wolf species from siberia, not giant north american timberwolves
probably closer to this. wild huskies.
I imagine living beside humans generation after generation for so long bred that loyalty into them.
So it wasn't present in wolves? I figured the trait of loyalty among wolves started applying to humans after they stuck together for years. Was that not the case and was it something new devloped in dogs?
It’s a wolf trait. Slavish obedience and a lack of self preservation are the dog traits. Loyalty is how wolf packs stick together.
>Loyalty is how wolf packs stick together.
Would those apply to humans too? I have only seen videos of wolves with humans and they kinda act like dogs. How are they different from dogs? And also so wolves see humans as their own?
Wolves are loyal to the people that raise them
But, wolves have a socialization window of weeks and dogs have one that can last a year, with social plasticity lasting their whole life.
>have a socialization window
What do you mean? Socialization outside of their pack?
From when they're born, I'm guessing.
A critical period where they can learn who is their friend. Wolves will fear anything unfamiliar after that.
So if raised alone they will never join a pack?
yeah they are so loyal that they are capable of loyally mauling the people who raised them too
Do you have a source for any of this? Wolves leave their packs all the time to form new ones. That doesn't seem very loyal to me.
my wolf pack roleplay group on imvu.
The mated pair doesn’t
Dogs don’t form mated pairs with othet dogs
Guess what?
What about their common ancestor? Was monogamy something devloped in wolves or was it present before but was removed from dogs?
dogs are literally wolves, a dead subspecies of wolf, wolves haven't changed much in millions of years. dogs have but they revert to being wild again in less than 50.
>but they revert to being wild again in less than 50.
what?
You ever meet a 50 year old dog? They're vicious.
