It is listed as <a href="/wiki/Least_Concern" class="mw-redirect" title="Least Concern">Least Concern</a> on the <a href="/wiki/IUCN_Red_List" title="IUCN Red List">IUCN Red List</a> due to its widespread distribution and high density in areas with plenty of available food and optimum shelter. </p><p>Despite its name, the golden jackal is not closely related to the African <a href="/wiki/Black-backed_jackal" title="Black-backed jackal">black-backed jackal</a> or <a href="/wiki/Side-striped_jackal" title="Side-striped jackal">side-striped jackal</a>, which are part of the genus <i><a href="/wiki/Lupulella" title="Lupulella">Lupulella</a></i>.

In this same period, a total of 10,000 jackals were taken within Russia and their furs sent exclusively to the <a href="/wiki/Nizhegorod" class="mw-redirect" title="Nizhegorod">Nizhegorod</a> fair. In the early 1930s there were 20,000–25,000 jackal skins tanned annually in the Soviet Union, but these could not be utilized within the country, and so the majority were exported to the United States. Commencing from 1949, they were all used within the Soviet Union.<sup id="cite_ref-heptner160_120-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-heptner160-120"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>119<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sulimov_dog">Sulimov dog</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Golden_jackal&amp;action=edit&amp;section=22" title="Edit section: Sulimov dog"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Jackal_training_-_RBTHvideo_-_6.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Jackal_training_-_RBTHvideo_-_6.png/220px-Jackal_training_-_RBTHvideo_-_6.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="110" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Jackal_training_-_RBTHvideo_-_6.png/330px-Jackal_training_-_RBTHvideo_-_6.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Jackal_training_-_RBTHvideo_-_6.png/440px-Jackal_training_-_RBTHvideo_-_6.png 2x" data-file-width="1896" data-file-height="946" /></a><figcaption>European jackal undergoing training at <a href="/wiki/Sheremetyevo_Airport" class="mw-redirect" title="Sheremetyevo Airport">Sheremetyevo Airport</a>, Russia</figcaption></figure> <p>The golden jackal may have once been tamed in Neolithic <a href="/wiki/Turkey" title="Turkey">Turkey</a> 11,000 years ago, as there is a sculpture of a man cradling a jackal found in <a href="/wiki/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe" title="Göbekli Tepe">Göbekli Tepe</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-bradshaw2011_125-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-bradshaw2011-125"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>124<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> French explorers during the 19th<span class="nowrap">&#160;</span>century noted that people in the <a href="/wiki/Levant" title="Levant">Levant</a> kept golden jackals in their homes.<sup id="cite_ref-boitard1842_126-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-boitard1842-126"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>125<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/Kalmyk_people" class="mw-redirect" title="Kalmyk people">Kalmyk people</a> near the Caspian Sea were known to frequently cross their dogs with jackals,<sup id="cite_ref-boitard1842_126-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-boitard1842-126"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>125<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and Balkan shepherds once crossed their sheepdogs with jackals.<sup id="cite_ref-lapini2003_25-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-lapini2003-25"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Russian military established the Red Star kennels in 1924 to improve the performance of working dogs and to conduct military dog research. The Red Star kennel developed "Laikoid" dogs, which were a cross-breed of <a href="/wiki/Spitz" title="Spitz">Spitz</a>-type Russian <a href="/wiki/Laika_(dog_breed)" class="mw-redirect" title="Laika (dog breed)">Laikas</a> with <a href="/wiki/German_Shepherds" class="mw-redirect" title="German Shepherds">German Shepherds</a>. By the 1980s, the ability of Russia's bomb and narcotic detection dogs were assessed as being inadequate. Klim Sulimov, a research scientist with the DS Likhachev Scientific Research Institute for Cultural Heritage and Environmental Protection, began cross-breeding dogs with their wild relatives in an attempt to improve their scent-detection abilities. The researchers assumed that during domestication dogs had lost some of their scent-detection ability because they no longer had to detect prey. Sulimov crossed European jackals with Laikas, and also with <a href="/wiki/Fox_terriers" class="mw-redirect" title="Fox terriers">fox terriers</a> to add trainability and loyalty to the mix. He used the jackal because he believed that it was the wild ancestor of the dog, that it had superior scent-detecting ability, and, because it was smaller with more endurance than the dog, it could be housed outdoors in the Russian climate. Sulimov favored a mix of one quarter jackal and three-quarters dog. Sulimov's program continues today with the use of the hybrid <a href="/wiki/Sulimov_dog" class="mw-redirect" title="Sulimov dog">Sulimov dogs</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Sheremetyevo_Airport" class="mw-redirect" title="Sheremetyevo Airport">Sheremetyevo Airport</a> near <a href="/wiki/Moscow" title="Moscow">Moscow</a> by the Russian airline <a href="/wiki/Aeroflot" title="Aeroflot">Aeroflot</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-hall2016_127-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-hall2016-127"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>126<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The hybrid program has been criticized, with one of Sulimov's colleagues pointing out that in other tests the Laika performed just as well as the jackal hybrids. The assumption that dogs have lost some of their scent-detection ability may be incorrect, in that dogs need to be able to scent-detect and identify the many humans that they come into contact with in their domesticated environment. Another researcher crossed German Shepherds with wolves and claimed that this hybrid had superior scent-detection abilities. The scientific evidence to support the claims of hybrid researchers is minimal, and more research has been called for.<sup id="cite_ref-hall2016_127-1" class="reference"><a
