Today I learned more about how dogs were bred from wolves. I looked at a lot of dog breed and learned lots of facts about what they were bred for and the culture they came from. For example, like labradors, poodles were bred to be hunters, gun dogs, and waterfowl retrievers. Though they seem very different, they were bred for the same thing. Also, bulldogs were bred to bring down bulls, and mastiffs were bred to be war dogs. Sometimes evolved dogs are bred with wolves again, a method called back-breeding. I learned a few more things about artificial selection, and I found out that there were 376 breeds of dogs.
I also learned a few facts about bone mutations, including a mutation that turns muscle into bone.
