The evolution and development of dogs throughout history began with their domestication by humans. The domestication of dogs dates back approximately 15,000 years. As humans transitioned from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to settled agricultural societies, they began to use dogs for hunting, herding, protection, and various other purposes. There is no definitive evidence regarding the ancestors of domestic dogs.

Today, geneticists accept that wolves and dogs share a common ancestor. Over time, humans have made them more cooperative and compatible with people. By feeding, providing shelter, and establishing social relationships with dogs, humans have bred them to become more useful and trainable. This selective breeding process has led to the emergence of different dog breeds.

The changes and developments in dogs have been shaped by human needs and preferences throughout history. For instance, herding dogs have been bred for the protection and guidance of livestock. Hunting dogs have been specifically bred for use in hunting. Guard dogs have been trained to protect homes and properties.

Additionally, the physical characteristics of dogs have also changed according to human preferences. Some breeds are larger and stronger, while others are smaller and more adorable. The evolution and development of dogs have also been influenced by scientific research and the establishment of breed standards.

Breed standards are guidelines that define the physical characteristics and behaviors of dogs belonging to specific breeds. These standards are used to ensure that dogs are bred for particular purposes. Moreover, selective breeding practices by humans have played a significant role in the domestication process. By selecting dogs with specific traits and breeding them, humans have accentuated desired characteristics. This selective breeding process has led to the emergence of different dog breeds and increased diversity.

With the transition to modern life, the domestication of dogs and the formation of breeds have accelerated. Humans have begun to breed dogs through selective breeding practices to achieve specific traits. During this process, various dog breeds have emerged, and breed standards have been established. The classification and registration of dog breeds became more widespread in the 19th century. Dog breed federations established in various regions of the world have played a significant role in the registration and standardization of dog breeds within the field of cynology.

During this period, many dog breeds were officially registered, and pedigrees were created. However, there are also unregistered and extinct dog breeds. Some breeds may have been cultivated by specific regions or communities without official registration. Additionally, some breeds may have lost popularity over time and become extinct. These unregistered and extinct breeds were often used in local communities or for specific purposes. However, with modern lifestyles and globalization, some dog breeds have been forgotten or disappeared. In the process of dog domestication and breed formation, there are registered, unregistered, and extinct breeds. The formation and disappearance of these breeds are related to human preferences, needs, and cultural factors.

In conclusion, the evolution and development of dogs throughout history have been shaped by human needs and preferences. Dogs domesticated by humans have been bred for various purposes, resulting in the emergence of different breeds. Today, dogs are considered one of humanity's closest companions and are used for various purposes.

History of Turkey with their dogs

The valuable scientist Archaeologist-Professor Dr. Afif Erzen, who was given the "Honorary Degree" by Istanbul University and the Turkish Historical Society, founded the "Van Region History and Archaeology Research Center" affiliated with Istanbul University in 1967. In addition to well-known Turkish Professors, foreign Professors also worked in this center. One of them was Professor Erich Feigl, who shed light on the Armenian issue and worked with his team in this center until 1984. The facts reached as a result of 20 years of work;

Turks, our ancestors, migrated to Anatolia in 13,000 BC. In other words, we have been the owners of Anatolia for 15,000 years.

Turks came to Anatolia as MIGRANT, not NOMADS, to make it their homeland.

Turks had "writing" at that time.

In the inscriptions found by Russian and French researchers in the Şölgen stone cave in the ORAL mountains, dated 14,000 BC, it is written that the Turks believed in the Unity of God.

In the works found in the Saymalıtaş Valley of Kyrgyzstan; it has been proven that the Turks invented the wheel, plowed with wheeled plows, and domesticated animals such as Deer-Horse-Dog.

The Turks migrated to Anatolia with advanced knowledge and thought and formed the “Bottom Culture” of Anatolia… According to these facts;

• Based on the Van Region, the cave and rock-under-rock paintings date back to 3000 BC. They are between 13,000-6,000 BC,

• The existence of similar or equivalent images from Central Asia, • The 40 or so inscriptions read by Kazım Mirşan, • From Servet Somuncuoğlu's millions of images and rock inscriptions north and south of a line drawn from China to İzmir,

• From 5,000 rock images found in the Ankara region, it has been reached and proven… Now let's come to the Western-Centric history that we are still taught; Western-centered history has deliberately left Eastern Anatolia undated so that the Imperialists can establish an "artificial state" that suits their interests when necessary. According to them, the Turks came to Anatolia in 1071 AD. When the Turks came to Anatolia, they were nomads consisting of uncultured, uninformed shepherds!… Their Turkification began after 1071 AD. The official Turkish History, that is, the one that the West wants and the history that is unfortunately still taught in our schools, is Western-Centered History. What needs to be known is that this history was written with a purpose.
