Yes, but that was something in the order of hundreds of thousands of years, not just thousands. Man started breeding animals only some thousand years ago. See what he did with the wild boars & wild dogs. He created pigs, dogs, sheep & cows. Animals can be "domesticated" quite quickly. So we can expect Hobbits to have Hobbit-sized pets.
