Question: In regards to their indigenous country, is the Tahltan Bear Dog's or Alopekis' closer to Italy?
Context: The Klastline Plateau is a plateau in the Stikine Country of the Northern Interior of British Columbia, Canada.  A subplateau of the Stikine Plateau, it is located between the Stikine River (N), the upper Iskut River (S), Mess Creek (W) and the Klappan River (E).  The Skeena Mountains are to the south, the Tahltan Highland to the west, the Spatsizi Plateau to the east, and the Tanzilla Plateau to the north, on the other side of the Stikine.  The Spatsizi and Tanzilla Plateaus, and the Tahltan Highland, are also part of the Stikine Plateau. Amphicyanis is an extinct genus of terrestrial carnivores belonging to the suborder "Caniformia", family Amphicyonidae ("bear dog"), and which inhabited Eurasia and North America. The Karelian Bear Dog (KBD) is a Finnish or Karelian breed of dog.  In its home country, it is regarded as a national treasure.  KBD will hunt a variety of animals.  Its quick reflexes and fearless nature have made it very popular for hunting aggressive game, including bears, moose, and wild boar.  It was the breed's ability to hunt and offer protection against a bear that earned the breed its name. Alopekis is an ancient Greek breed of dog.  The name Alopekis means “small fox” or “fox-like” in the Greek language.  The breed is mentioned by several ancient Greek & classical writers (Aristotle, Xenophon, Aristophanes et al) and is depicted in many archaeological finds such as pottery, carvings, statuettes, sculpture, tomb monuments etc. (see Images). Tahltan Indian Reserve No. 10, referred to by Statistics Canada for census purposes as Tahtlan 10, is an Indian Reserve of the Tahltan First Nation located one mile north of the confluence of the Klastline River with the Stikine in the Stikine Country of the northwestern British Columbia Interior of Canada. The Tahltan Nation is a tribal council-type organization (but "not" a tribal council) combining the governments of two band governments of the Tahltan people in the Stikine Country of the Northern Interior of British Columbia, Canada.  The two member governments are the Iskut First Nation and the Tahltan First Nation, which is also known as the Tahltan Indian Band.  The Tahltan Nation is governed by the Tahltan Central Council, which is composed of representatives of 10 families from each band and has its offices at Dease Lake. Gustafsonia is an extinct genus of carnivoran belonging to the family Amphicyonidae (a bear dog).  The type species, Gustafsonia cognita, was described in 1986 by Eric Paul Gustafson, who originally interpreted it as a miacid and named it Miacis cognitus.  It was subsequently considered to be the only species of the diverse genus "Miacis" that belonged to the crown-group Carnivora, within the Caniformia, and it was ultimately assigned to the family Amphicyonidae.  The type specimen or holotype was discovered in Reeve's bonebed, western Texas, in the Chambers Tuff Formation in 1986.  The University of Texas holds this specimen.  It is the only confirmed fossil of this species. Arctocyon ('bear dog') is an extinct genus of ungulate mammals.  "Arctocyon" was a "ground dwelling omnivore", that lived from 61.3-56.8 Ma.  Synonyms of "Arctocyon" include "Claenodon", and "Neoclaenodon".  "Arctocyon" was likely plantigrade, that is, walked like a bear. The Tahltan Bear Dog was a breed of dog that was indigenous to Canada.  This breed is believed to be extinct by most authorities. Chutine, originally Chutine Landing, is an abandoned locality and is a former settlement at the confluence of the Chutine and Stikine Rivers in the Stikine Country of northwestern British Columbia, Canada.  The name "Chutine" means "half-people" in the Tahltan language, as the community here was a mixture of Tahltan and Tlingit peoples.
