There was a very interesting PBS documentary recently on the
domestication of canines, and how wild species become increasing
different with each successive generation of domesticity in physiology,
physical characteristics (color, for one), and behaviour (eye contact,
pointing recognition, etc).

I watched those 2 shows (if we are talking about the same and I think
we are) with absolute fascination. Just awesome.

Sounds like the same documentary ... IIRC, this one that included the
Russian scientists who followed successive generations of domesticated
wolves for 50+ years?

Real science for a change, not the version based on computer modeling
from interpolated/adjusted data.

Moxie picked up a wad of tissue in the church parking lot and I didn't
want her to have it, so I tried to get her to give it up.
No way she would, so I forced her jaws apart and took it, but as I let
go, she lunged for my hand with a very vicious bark to go with it.
She didn't draw blood (glove) but that stung quite a bit...and I was
reminded of what my navy buddy once told me... inside every dog, is a
wolf... ultimately.

Take a close look at those chompers if you don't believe that.

I'd bet Moxie, being a MaltiPoo is like 6lb Pandi, a ShiPoo, who seems
to have a bigger mouth than would fit in her head ... the further back
it goes, the wider it gets, amazingly so.

.... and the bigger the teeth.
