These is no doubt that this is on the conservative side since feral dog populations are found throughout any part of the world where there is a substantial human population. Feral dogs can be from any breed and most, especially if born as feral puppies, are going to be mixed breed, perhaps mixed breed for several generations.Īlthough the number of wild or feral dogs is impossible to accurately predict, the National Geographic study of dog populations world wide was estimated to be at approximately 500 million.

This has further increased the numbers and has lead to some very real health and genetic concerns within these numbers. Unfortunately these feral dogs, many which have been abandoned by uncaring owners, have not only survived their life on the streets but have also gone on to reproduce. Feral dogs, as well as feral cats, are rapidly becoming a very serious problem in most if not all of the larger metropolitan areas throughout the world.
