DNA from dogs of 85 (mostly) [[American Kennel Club|AKC]]-registered breeds (5 individuals per breed in most cases) were tested by Parker et al.<ref name=genstruct/> This study had some surprises, especially the suggestion that three breeds – the [[Norwegian Elkhound]], [[Pharaoh Hound]], and [[Ibizan Hound]] – are not as old as typically stated, but rather are more recent recreations of old types.<ref name=genstruct/> Also, five pairs of breeds are closely related: [[Alaskan Malamute]] and [[Siberian Husky]], [[Collie]] and [[Shetland Sheepdog]], [[Greyhound]] and [[Whippet]], [[Bernese Mountain Dog]] and [[Greater Swiss Mountain Dog]], and finally the [[Bull Mastiff]] and [[English Mastiff]].<ref name=genstruct/>

However, the assumption that a small sample from a single dog breed can be representative for the entire breed is argued to be invalid by long-time repeated incidental or intentional interbreeding with local dogs, thereby gradually replacing original wolf [[clade]] elements but maintaining the original phenotype by ongoing selection for the original use and conformation.<ref>{{cite journal

}}</ref> This evolution can be seen also in the high proportion of European clade in Asian breeds close to Europe, like Saluki and Samoyed, while a geographically remote Nordic spitz, the Siberian Husky, does not show such a replacement of the original wolfdog structure.{{Fact|date=May 2008}} Also, as there are some 400 known dog breeds (of which the AKC recognizes 167), it is possible that an extended study would reveal additional "ancient" breeds.
