white dog cartoon character with red collar - The local dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris) is a member of genus Canis (canines) that sorts area of the wolf-like canids, and is the most considerable carnivore greatly. The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa, with modern wolves not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated. The dog was the first domesticated species and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.

Their long relationship with humans has led dogs to be uniquely attuned to individual behavior and they are able to thrive over a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canid varieties. Dogs vary widely in shape, colours and size. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship and, recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This impact on human population has given them the sobriquet "man's closest friend".

The word "domestic dog" is generally used for both domesticated and feral types. The English expression dog originates from Middle British dogge, from Old English docga, a "powerful dog". The term may derive from Proto-Germanic *dukk?n, represented in Old English finger-docce ("finger-muscle"). The term also shows the familiar petname diminutive -ga also observed in frogga "frog", picga "pig", stagga "stag", wicga "beetle, worm", amongst others. The term dog may finally derive from the earliest layer of Proto-Indo-European vocabulary.In 14th-century Great britain, hound (from Old British: hund) was the general word for all those home canines, and dog described a subtype of hound, an organization including the mastiff. It is believed this "dog" type was so common, it eventually became the prototype of the category "hound". By 16th century, dog had end up being the general term, and hound experienced begun to refer only to types used for hunting.[ The term "hound" is eventually derived from the Proto-Indo-European term *kwon-, "dog". This semantic shift may be in comparison to in German, where the matching words Dogge and Hund retained their original meanings.A male canine is known as a dog, while a female is called a bitch. The daddy of a litter is called the sire, and the mother is called the dam. (Midsection British bicche, from Old British bicce, eventually from Old Norse bikkja) The process of labor and birth is whelping, from the Old English word hwelp; the modern English expression "whelp" is an alternate term for puppy dog. A litter identifies the multiple offspring at one labor and birth that happen to be called pet dogs or pups from the French poup?e, "doll", which has substituted the more mature term "whelp" mainly.Your dog is grouped as Canis lupus familiaris under the Biological Varieties Concept and Canis familiaris under the Evolutionary Varieties Concept.In 1758, the taxonomist Linnaeus posted in Systema Naturae a categorization of varieties including the Canis species. Canis is a Latin expression meaning dog, and the list included the dog-like carnivores: the home dog, wolves, foxes and jackals. The dog was classified as Canis familiaris, which means "Dog-family" or the family dog. On another webpage the wolf was recorded by him as Canis lupus, this means "Dog-wolf". In 1978, a review aimed at lowering the number of recognized Canis kinds suggested that "Canis dingo is now generally seen as a distinctive feral local dog. Canis familiaris can be used for domestic pups, although it should probably be associated with Canis lupus taxonomically." In 1982, the first edition of Mammal Species of the planet listed Canis familiaris under Canis lupus with the comment: "Probably ancestor of and conspecific with the domestic dog, familiaris. Canis familiaris has page concern over Canis lupus, but both were publicized concurrently in Linnaeus (1758), and Canis lupus has been universally used because of this species", which prevented classifying the wolf as the grouped family dog. The dog is now listed among the many other Latin-named subspecies of Canis lupus as Canis lupus familiaris.In 2003, the ICZN ruled in its Impression 2027 that if wildlife and their domesticated derivatives are thought to be one species, then the scientific name of that types is the technological name of the outdoors creature. In 2005, the 3rd release of Mammal Species of the globe upheld Opinion 2027 with the name Lupus and the notice: "Includes the local dog as a subspecies, with the dingo distinct - unnatural variants created by domestication and selective breeding" provisionally. However, Canis familiaris may also be used due to an ongoing nomenclature debate because wild and domestic animals are separately recognizable entities and that the ICZN allowed users a decision as to which name they might use, and lots of acknowledged research workers want to use Canis familiaris internationally.
