The domestic dog is a genetic experiment in the first place. Our dogs did not
exist before early man took wolf pups not likely to survive in the pack to his
own den. The alterations that came about by breeding otherwise unfit wolves
led to the dog, and in short order.
There were some experments done in Russia in the early 1900's and later in
the USSR in the 80's with foxes that indicate it takes about 10 generations of
breeding submissives only to change the appearance and behavior of of the
foxes, and it is clear from the information on wolves and their interbreeding
with dogs that it is much the same. It did not take long to make a dog a dog
from a wolf.
So why not use our latest technology to continue to alter our animals to suit
our needs?
