Earliest Dogs in North America: Natural History Notebooks

They have been in America a very long time.

Quote:
The earliest probable dog remains found in North America are about 8700 to 14 000 years old. These dogs were medium-sized and likely used in hunting. Dogs of this time-period and region are not very common.

10 200 year-old remains were found in Colorado, U.S.A., at the Jones Miller site
11 000 to 14 000 year-old remains were found in Wyoming, U.S.A., at the Agate Basin site
8700 to 9300 year-old remains were found in Wyoming, U.S.A., at the Horner site.
