They are also physiologically and anatomically the same, sharing 99.8% of the same DNA. The differences in appearance and size are accounted for in that less than 2%.

Yes, dogs are related back to the Wolf, but a yorkie is not a wolf. This breed is so domesticated that if you were to put one out on it's own it could not survive without a human. They will not hunt down prey, kill and live many years like a wolf in the wilderness. Lets get real here. I have not seen any raw dog food sold with skin, fur, blood and organs. I see raw meat ground up mixed with other ingredients and frozen. I see and read of people going to the grocery store and getting butchered meat to give their dogs a raw diet. That is not what a wolf eats
I am sure that raw works for some, but not all. Each person should take the time to research and find out what works for their Yorkies and lifestyle.
