Dog breeds vary widely in shape, size, and color.

The dog has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes. Due to their long association with humans, dogs have expanded to a large number of domestic individuals and gained the ability to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canids. Dogs were the first species to be domesticated by hunter-gatherers over 15,000 years ago before the development of agriculture. Also called the domestic dog, it is derived from the extinct Pleistocene wolf, and the modern wolf is the dog's nearest living relative. Ideal for setting patterns such as the Dutch Clip on Toy Poodles, great for small Poodle feet.The dog ( Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris ) is a domesticated descendant of the wolf.
