No, all dogs are not one species. Dogs belong to the species Canis lupus familiaris, which is a subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus). However, within the species Canis lupus familiaris, there are numerous breeds of dogs that have been selectively bred over generations for specific traits and characteristics. These breeds vary greatly in size, appearance, temperament, and behavior. Despite these differences, all domestic dogs belong to the same subspecies, Canis lupus familiaris.
