I realize I could have been a bit clearer. Dogs are speies in the Canidae family. Not all organisms in Canidae are dogs, though there is some relation between foxes and dogs.
If it's of interest to you, I highly suggest reading about the Silver Fox domestication experiment. As a dog lover, I find it very fascinating stuff:
Are you saying all species under Canidae are dogs, or only some species are?
Did you know the red fox, Vulpes vulpes, is a member of the Canidae family? Are foxes dogs?
Yes, some breeds like Chihuahuas come from this branch.
