Ok, I was thinking about this earlier today.

My question is about dog species in the wild.

A long long time ago there were all dog species running wild around the world.

Humans then started to keep them as pets and then eventually breed them.

You would think that there are German shepards running around in the wild as well as retrievers somewhere but there probably arent.

Did humans make these animals extinct in the wild or are they still out there?

I know there are wild dogs in africa.

Pardon me if I sound like an idiot and have not fully thought this out properly.
