Abstract

This study examines the evolutionary trends in predatory adaptation among indigenous dog breeds from Asia. Through a review of literature and historical records, we investigate how selective pressures and human interventions have shaped behaviors and traits in breeds such as the Indian Pariah, Korean Jindo, and Chinese Shar-Pei. By analyzing hunting strategies, prey preferences, and morphological features, we aim to understand the influences of natural selection, domestication, and cultural practices on the predatory behavior of Asian dogs. This research provides insights into the unique evolutionary pathways of Asian predatory dogs and their implications for conservation and human-dog interactions.
