How can some dogs be smaller than wolves? How can some dogs be faster than wolves? How can some dogs be more docile than wolves? There is one answer that explains it all, thousands upon thousands of years of isolated populations of domesticated wolves(aka dogs) undergoing strict selective breeding by human beings in various locations. The result of this is the most diverse animal on the planet.

Some time ago, humans got the idea to create different types of dogs by only letting those dogs that were most what they wanted breed.
Want a bigger dog to pull something - only let the biggest pair breed.
Want a smaller dog - only let the smallest ones breed. keep it up for some generations and eventually you have Chihuahuas as well as St Bernards.
Why are some humans tall and others short? It goes the same way with dogs. Look around you, all people are different shapes and sizes depending of their life style and hereditary, and it's the same way with dogs. Some are plumper because they eat more or don't have as much exercise as other dogs. And then height is just based on genes and hereditary and how tall the average dog in that breed is.
