Canine Vaccinations

The English talk hound is a cognate of German http://www.pupspetsupply.com/pProducts.php?cat=017 Hund, Dutch hond, banal Scandinavian hund, Icelandic hundur which, though referring to a specific breed body in English, means "dog" in general in the other Germanic languages. Hound itself is derived from the Proto-Indo-European *kwon-, which is the direct root of the Greek κυων (kuōn) and the indirect root of the Latin canis through the variant mode *kani-.

Based on DNA evidence, the wolf ancestors of modernized dogs diverged from other wolves about 100,000 years ago, and dogs were homelike from those wolf ancestors about 15,000 years ago. This date would make dogs the first species to be sedentary by humans.
