I have always thought chihuahuas [I have two] are from Asia ... not Mexico.
Read a funny article decades ago about a reporter going to Chihuahua, Mexico. There are no chihuahuas there! Epic Fail!

I thought they proved long long time ago that all domesticated dogs came from the tibetan wolf.

I thought they proved long long time ago that all domesticated dogs came from the tibetan wolf."The longest river of China and of Asia, flowing about 5,551 km (3,450 mi) from Xizang (Tibet) to the East China Sea."

Come to think of it, I spent a little time in Rottweil and didn't see any Rottweilers there.
Other than the two-legged kind, that is.

I love this guys work but finding those gene sequences doesn’t pinpoint anything. Species migrate and this wolf species once roamed from eastern Europe to eastern Asia. The fact that they’re only found in China now doesn’t tell us anything about 50,000 ya.

The tibetan wolf is a very rare subspecies of the eurasian wolf and very unique. It does not exist in south east china. There are striking differences between the tibetan wolf skull and the skulls of all other wolves. There is also some subtle different behavior.
My own belief is that dogs are not all from tibetan wolves, but that tibetan wolves are all partially domesticated.
