I wonder if some of eyed herding breeds got their start with these wolves ? They are really the only stronge eyed wild dogs I have ever seen or heard of.

@eddyskelpies

As far as I know, the Ethiopian wolves have never been domesticated.

[eddyskelpies]

I guess it didn't post. But if you watch the Kelpie & the Border Collie herding. It is all the same hunt, just without the kill.

Well, thats in no way evidence, that their ancestors were ethiopian wolves. They were grey wolves

you are right ,,, let me tell u a weird thing,,, In southern Ethiopia a man must kill a cheetah and must wear his skin,,, Otherwise he is considered as a weak man,,,so every man kills a cheetah,,,, What do you think of those Idiots? It annoys me ,,, but i cant do anything,,,

[LFCinEthiopia]

the people from my country don't respect wild animals,,, they kill a lot,,,BIG SHAME

[NyalaProductions]

I know LFCinEthiopia, but people can change if we try to explain them the importance of nature. It's my hope.

Wolf fox!

I feel so sorry for them, i personnally say that we move them to an area in either europe or canada, but i don't know how cold they prefer to be, but jugding by its coat, i say close by the canadians, but not too close, however, what food would it eat? that i am not sure stupid cause and affect!!!!!!! well, that is the point of view of a twelve-year-old seventh grader

I wonder how these wolves coped during the Derg years. Did the 1978 Ogaden War and the 1984 famine affect them in any way?

@basenjiguitar You are kidding right? They have no resemblance and your video confuses Basenjis with Tjesms, not to mention the lion hunting crap or that they supposedly don't bark. All dogs bark, but not all to the same degree. There is nothing cat-like about the Basenji, they are fundamentally canine.
