What are the genus and species name of different breeds of dog?
All the different breeds of dogs - from Irish setters to greyhounds - are all part of the same species, canis lupus familiaris. The common, domesticated dog is actually a subspecies of the grey wolf. The different breeds do have different genetic characteristics (just as humans have, say, different eye or hair colors), but they're a all one and the same. The different names for different breeds are not like the scientific classifications of organisms via domain, kingdom, etc. They're just our choices.
