That is something of a point of bemuddlement. When a species and subspecies grow different to a certain point, they are often referred to by some as two separate species, and by others as the same species. This is such with Canis lupus and Canis familiaris/Canis lupus familiaris. Depending on which source or school of thought you ask, wolves and dogs differ either at the species level or the subspecies level.
The Canis lupus familiaris is at the 16th level of classification and is considered to be a subspecies of Canis lupus. Canis lupus is the genus and species in which includes the dog.

The most specific level of taxonomy is species.
The kingdom level is the least specific level of taxonomy. It is broader compared to other levels such as phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Division is used instead of phylum for plants and fungi in taxonomy.
The Canis lupus familiaris is at the 16th level of classification and is considered to be a subspecies of Canis lupus. Canis lupus is the genus and species in which includes the dog.

An animal genus is a rank in the biological classification (taxonomy) that groups together species that are closely related and share a common ancestor. It is one level above species and one level below family in the taxonomic hierarchy. For example, the genus "Canis" includes species such as the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) and the gray wolf (Canis lupus). Genus names are always capitalized and italicized or underlined in scientific writing.
No, they are the same species. Canis lupus is the Grey Wolf, and Canis lupus familiaris is the domesticated subspecies, the domestic dog. People say Canis familiaris and they mean the domestic dog, but familiaris is not a species in of itself.
A dog and a human get separated at the species level in the classification system. Dogs belong to the species Canis lupus familiaris while humans belong to the species Homo sapiens.
They are the same species but a different subspecies.
The most specific level of taxonomy is species.

Yes. Greyhounds and poodles are the exact same species, a domesticated canid, Canis lupus familiaris, descended from wolves. The reason they look so different is due to artificial selection - we've bred them for specific traits, both physical and behavioural. But on a genetic level the two are the same species.
