There are two known species of wolf: the gray wolf (Canis lupus) and the red wolf (Canis rufus). Scientists are not sure about a third possible species, the Ethiopian wolf or the Simian jackal (Canis simensis), because there is controversy over whether it is a real wolf or something else. There is only one subspecies of red wolf (the others are extinct), but there are many subspecies of gray wolves. Of these, some are the arctic wolf, the Mexican gray wolf, and the Mackenzie Valley wolf.

There are two widely recognized species of wolves in the world, the red and the gray. However, there is debate over how many species of wolf exist and if there are different subspecies of the gray wolf. Additionally, there is a little-known canid, which lives in the Ethiopian highlands called Canis simensis that is thought to be a very close relative of the wolf.

There are several different, naturally occurring wild dogs, but there are no "breeds" of wild dogs. Breeds occur when humans intentionally engineer the matings of canines in order to "create" an animal with a certain combination of traits or looks.

Types of wild dogs include dingos, dholes, pariah dogs, Indonesian singing dogs, African spotted dogs and others.

There is but a single species of true wolf - Canis lupus. However, there are a number of subspecies. One subspecies, the red wolf, was once thought to be a distinct species but is now considered to be a subspecies. There are a few other animals called wolves, such as the Ethiopian wolf and the maned wolf. However, these are wolves in name only and not true wolves. For a list of subspecies, click on this link.

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. For a list of these subspecies, click on this link.
