Dogs look different, but in terms of DNA they are very similar. Skin / fir color and size are things DNA optimized to change as quickly as possible which is why Chihuahuas and Great Danes can still interbreed.

The more similar they are genetically, the easier it should be to define and characterize the differences that are responsible for morphology, behavior, and diseases that run among breeds, no?
