Nope, Pamela, the only North American dogs weren't the Xolo and Chihuahua, although those MAY have been the only dogs known to the indigenes in México at the time of the Conquest. Here is what Wikipedia says:

"Shortly after domestication, dogs became ubiquitous in human populations, and spread throughout the world. Emigrants from Siberia likely crossed the Bering Strait with dogs in their company, and some experts suggest that use of sled dogs may have been critical to the success of the waves that entered North America roughly 12,000 years ago. Dogs were an important part of life for the Athabascan population in North America, and were their only domesticated animal. Dogs also carried much of the load in the migration of the Apache and Navajo tribes 1,400 years ago. Use of dogs as pack animals in these cultures often persisted after the introduction of the horse to North America."

The coyote and wolf are also canines.

Arbon...the "frigid women" comment had me ROFLMAO. Good one.

And yes, wolves and coyotes were probably the original "domesticated" dogs, although I have some reservations about "Coyote".

Some wolves and foxes cannot be domesticated, because they don't allow humans to get near enough to them.

(there has been no DNA found from coyotes in dogs, yet)

I've had a coyote/dog and if a dog has any coyote in it, it will be a weird dog. If a dog is half coyote, it will always be terrified of being around groups of people and will try to hide in shadows. A wolf hybrid is less shy but people destroy the dog's mind by trying to make them breed with multiple partners, (wolves are monogamous,) and people try to make the wolf hybrid aggressive. Although dogs can be aggressive, wolves aren't and the wolf part ends up insane.
