These "puchas" (poodle-jackals), like the "pucos" (poodle coyotes), exhibited much less domestic dog-like behaviour than the wolf-hybrids. [10] In 2015, hybridization between golden jackals and domestic dogs in the wild was confirmed when three specimens with anomalous traits were killed in Croatia and had their genetic markers analyzed.
[32] [33] Hybridization also occurs between female golden jackals and male dogs, which produces fertile offspring, [34] a jackal–dog hybrid. There was 11–13% of ancient gene flow into the golden jackal from the population that was ancestral to wolves and dogs, and an additional 3% from extant wolf populations.
The discovery of these specimens confirmed that hybridization between the two canids occurs in the wild, and that the two have unlimited fertility with each other. [27] Although hybridization between wolves and golden jackals has never been observed, evidence of such occurrences was discovered through mtDNA analysis on jackals in Bulgaria. [28]
For the first time in 150 years, a new species of canine has been discovered. What was originally thought to be a golden jackal -- has now been confirmed by researchers to be a new type of wolf ...
[5] [6] It is nonetheless still close enough to the golden jackal to produce hybrid offspring, as indicated through genetic tests on jackals in Israel, [5] and a 19th-century captive crossbreeding experiment. [7] Further studies demonstrated that it is the descendant of a genetically admixed canid of 72% gray wolf and 28% Ethiopian wolf ...
[2] [4] [8] Vietnamese folk tales state they are the descendants of hybridization between domestic dogs and golden jackals or dholes. [4] Author Lê Quý Đôn wrote in his historical work Đại Việt thông sử that the Lài dog was selectively bred by Emperor Lê Lợi in the 14th century to serve in the military and as hunting hounds. [2]
The following classification is based on the taxonomy described by Mammal Species of the World (2005), with augmentation by generally accepted proposals made since using molecular phylogenetic analysis, such as the promotion of the African golden wolf to a separate species from the golden jackal, and splitting out the Lupulella genus from Canis ...
