Genetic and zooarchaeological studies confirm: the Slough is not a modern invention, but a lineage that stretches back through millennia. A bridge between myth and science, tradition and evidence. #DogGenetics #Archaeology #AncientDogs

For centuries, the Slough walked beside Berber tribes and Arab dynasties. A hunter in the sands, a guardian in the night, a companion in the heart. Its elegance was celebrated in poetry, art, and memory. #Sighthounds #NorthAfrica #DogCulture

The Slough is more than a dog. It is a living fragment of North African history—graceful, resilient, and deeply tied to desert cultures.

Genomic studies reveal its special blend: wolf traits preserved, yet behavior and social imprint closer to German Shepherds. Selective breeding created a “closed” population — dogs with wolf-like coats and strong personalities, but surprisingly canine social bonds.

Another dog found at the same site, 10,200 years old, represents the deepest lineage of the A1a subgroup. Together, they reveal a continuous canine presence in Harbin between 13,000 and 10,000 years ago. Ancient migrations, humans and dogs moving as one. 🌍🐾

Near today’s Harbin, in Heilongjiang province, dogs arrived from the Siberian steppe alongside humans. 🐕👣 Genetic studies show one dog was basal to the A2a and A2b subgroups — ancestors that later spread to North #America.

If Frederick the Great anticipated modern ethology, today we can continue his curiosity by exploring the roots of our bond with dogs.

Frederick the Great reminds us: true leadership is not only conquest, but curiosity and respect for nature. His legacy lives on in science, culture, and the quiet memory of his beloved dogs. 🐾

In the gardens of Sanssouci, the gravestones of Frederick’s Italian Greyhounds still whisper of his passion. A king who ruled with the sword, but also with the mind. Today, he would be a supporter of science, an environmentalist, and a tireless promoter of knowledge. #dogs #friendship

Want to know where your dog really comes from? Forget the legends. Follow the bones, the genes, the laws. I write about ancient dogs — and the myths we love to believe. Start with ROMA CANES MUNDI. The truth has teeth. #book

The Galgo didn’t run through Roman forums. It was shaped in medieval fields. If your breed isn’t mentioned in ancient texts, don’t worry: 98% of modern dogs are younger than 400 years. History is selective. Myth is generous.

The Galgo appears in poetry and legislation only from the 9th century onward. Spanish lawmakers protected it. Not just a dog — a cultural asset. Everything before that? Speculation.
