The cat-like Feliformia and dog-like Caniformia emerged within the Carnivoramorpha around 45–42 Mya (million years ago). [7] The Canidae first appeared in North America during the Late Eocene (37.8-33.9 Mya). They did not reach Eurasia until the Late Miocene or to South America until the Late Pliocene. [1]: 7
The first wave of dog domestication began between 40,000 and 14,000 years ago ... This gave rise to many of the 200 dog breeds now recognized by the American Kennel Club—a registry of purebred ...
