There are many different types of dog breeds, despite the fact that they are all one species, Canis familiaris and all have a common ancestor, the wolf, Canis lupus. Many breeds, such as the Alaskan malamute and the Siberian husky look remarkably like wolves and even retain some of their habits. Other breeds like the daschund above, do not strongly resemble wolves.
