There is no specific scientific name for breeds of dogs. Regardless of the breed (Shetland Sheepdog, Golden Retriever, Portuguese Water Dog) the animals all belong to the "Dog" species. This is what receives the scientific name, which is Canis Lupus Familiaris.

A:The scientific name for a domestic dog is canis lupis familiaris, a subspecies of the grey wolf canis lupis.All domestic dogs are of this subspecies or breed.
The term "dog breeds" as used to describe the border collie or the rottweiler etc. is not scientific, because a breed is the same as a subspecies, and all dogs are in the same subspecies. It is also inconsistent, because different dog registries have different names and characteristics for the same "breed", and is based primarily on appearance.
The scientific name for a Shetland Sheepdog is Canis lupus familiaris.
