ROFL Mona! I LOVE you for looking that up :) I almost brought up
the phenotype thing in my response to Tom but I couldn't remember the
word "neoteny" which means that domestic dogs retain the juvenile
characteristics of wolves such as denning. While we're on the
subject, although it was *not* what I was originally getting at (Kevin
is completely on target in terms of where I was coming from or going
to <g> with my questions), anyone know of any studies comparing the
phenotype of several generations of captive bred birds to their wild
counterparts?

but I don't have any studies in my trusty library......and don't know of any....
