ASD's and Wolves 

What is the relationship between the ASD and the wolf? How common was interbreeding dogs and wolves and what impact did that have on the Anatolian Shepherd dog of today? I would be very interested in learning more about the breeding practices of the Turkish shepherds.

A fascinating article describing the relationship of the wolf and the livestock guarding dogs in the U.S. Rocky Mountains can be found at: http://www.kora.unibe.ch/en/proj/cdpnews/cdpnews008.htm#Bangsetal
The article describes a variety of relationships from a lone wolf and LGD becoming companions to the territorial disputes between the various wolf packs and dogs.
