Breed refers to domestic animals such as dogs, cats and cattle. Wolves and other wild animals are classified by subspecies and species. There is one (some say 2) species of wolf and about 39 subspecies. There are a few others that are called wolf, such as the maned wolf, that are not true wolves. The species of wolf are Canis lupus and some say Canis rufus. Most scientists now classify Canis rufus as a subspecies of the wolf - Canis lupus rufus.

Wolves do not have "breeds." That term applies to domesticated animals such as dogs, cats, cattle, chickens, etc. Wolves are classified by species and subspecies. There is but a single species of true wolf and that is the gray wolf, sometimes called a timber wolf. It does have a number of subspecies.
