The Caninae, known as canines (/keɪnaɪnz/),[6]: 182 are one of three subfamilies found within the canid family. The other two canid subfamilies are the extinct Borophaginae and Hesperocyoninae.[7] The Caninae includes all living canids and their most recent fossil relatives.[1] Their fossils were first found in North America and dated to the Oligocene era, then spreading to Asia at the end of the Miocene era,[6]: 122 some 7 million to 8 million years ago.[7]
