I'm not sure what you are getting at. Dogs are animals. Man has since the beginning bred dogs for specific characteristics.
I suppose you could point out that slavery does the same thing. Or royalty. Selective breeding.
But human DNA is human DNA. Any human can mate with another human and produce another human. Genetic defects are present all across the human genetic spectrum.
Environmental pressures over time will affect DNA. it can take generations. But it does happen.
Today, the entire genome is altered. I myself would be dead already if it were not for modern medical science. People who would normally not survive live to reproduce.
It is no longer the survival of the fittest/strongest. It is survival of those who have access to the best tech.
In developing nations poverty disease lack of proper housing education food etc all eventually effect genetic/mental development.
Are there various dog breeds? With various inherent abilities?

Can all dogs be walking dogs?
Are some breeds inherently more aggressive than others?
