Dear SSN. Always fascinating, always introducing us to nearby places and settings we never knew. Passing this along to dog people and to people people. Thanks.

I have wondered if there would be enough DNA left in those blankets to determine which genes are likely responsible for the 'wool' growing. My suspicion is that some where in the world are some living dogs with those genes likely hiding. If so it is possible to come up with a dog very much like those now extinct dogs. The wool, grown by local tribes would be very valuable.
