Here is the wiki for Dmitry Konstantinovich Belyaev.

This certainly demands closer examination.

Interesting stuff. I have heard mastiff and bullmastiff breeders swear that their brindle dogs have very different personalities than fawn dogs.

I wonder what other species we have "destabilized". Buffaloes / cows, boars, sheep, goats, cats. I would love to see this experiment repeated with wild specimens and see how many generations before we have domestic animals.
