i was watching one of the nature channels about the wild dogs of africa wondering if they have ever been bred to if possiblewith domestic dogs or hunted with? they seem highly intelligent with great endurance ,and not a squable around a kill. they somewhat resemble greyhounds in build .i understand most people on this site arent from africa ,but maybe somebody on here knows something about it as my curiosity wont let me rest until somebody fills me in.

Rhodesian Ridgeback/ wild african dogs,english foxhound and i believe airdale terrier where combined to make the ridgeback.

Cape hunting dogs can not breed with domestic dogs.They are not the same species and do not have the same amount of chromosomes.Ol Curt

They have same number of chromosomes but they CANNOT breed like this man says.

wouldnt you like to get one as a pup dan just to see what you could do with it . i know i was only watching them on the boob tube ,but they seemed like they could be trainable to ones own pack of hunting dogs .i cant help but wonder. some would say well you wouldnt want a wolf in your pack and they would be right. the cape just seemed like it had alot more tolerance . oh well guess i will never find out .
