Can You Tell Me.....??

Question

If dogs weren't house pets, where would their natural habitat be??

Answer 1

Nice quetion.i too think tht.i think  tht they must be living in packs.they must be livingin' forests . Many of their behaviour would be as african wild dogs as they ar their wild relatives.

Answer 2

Roaming in packs, just about anywhere humans can live.

Answer 3

dogs being related to foxes and wolves would probably be hunters and scavengers living in the roadsides and feeding from our rubbish

they would seek out wooded areas for protection and come in at nite to feed

Answer 4

So you've never seen a wolf?  Or a coyote?

Answer 5

Dogs can survive just about anywhere.  There are still packs of wild dogs roaming the African savannah.

Answer 6

There are some interesting articles about the first domesticated canines, perhaps in Australia. It seems that dogs (like wolves or coyotes etc., whatever version is in Australia)  might have followed human groups to share in kills, or the remains of kills. And humans might have followed canines around for the same purpose. If puppies were taken, then they might easily become 'tame'. There is evidence that when dogs and humans got together, there may have been a huge die off of several Australian species because when humans and dogs worked together, their hunting efficiency increased greatly.

Answer 7

Anywhere a wolf or coyote could live, so almost anywhere.  Wolves and dogs are still so closely related that they can produce fertile offspring, so anywhere a wolf would be happy, a dog would like too.
