Suppose The Rhodesian ridgeback is a dog breed developed in South Africa. Its European forebears can be traced to the early pioneers of the Cape Colony of southern Africa, who crossed their dogs with the semi-domesticated, ridged hunting dogs of the Khoikhoi.
Can we infer that "The Rhodesian ridgeback was made because European colonizers bred their dog with native hunting dogs"? Yes, no, or maybe?
