i think the wolves/dogs/coyotes and african wild dogs all have 78 chromosomes, but it's unclear if the african painted dogs have been diverged so long as to have incompatible chromosome gene layouts despite matching chromosome counts.

i tried looking for any examples of hybrids but did not find any. they'd be pretty ridiculously cute though for sure.

supposedly hybrids of african painted dogs and domestic dogs happens, albeit rarely, in South Africa
