Exactly the same thing happened with the Maori dog in New Zealand, I can send you some key references off line

Subject: [ZOOARCH] animal hybridization by neglect

Dear Zooarchers, 

Recently I have been wondering about the examples of animal hybridization (mainly mammals) caused not by intentional human action, but rather due to negligence or ignorance. So far I know that modern camelids are actually hybrids of pre-Conquest species and that British Columbia's Salish Wool Dog disappeared in the colonial times due to the lack of controlled breeding and intermixing with other dogs. Does anybody know any other examples or can recommend some literature? All comments will be greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Weronika
