all breeds of animal can be selective breed
DaveScriv added: Indeed all breeds of domestic livestock were created by selective breeding, although it looks more obvious on some than others. Taking a few chicken breeds as examples, Drentse & Friesians (both from The Netherlands) don't look much different from wild Jungle Fowl in size & shape (although bred in many plumage colour varieties, most of which are different from JF colours), so don't look as though they've been subjected to much selective breeding, but they've still been selectively bred to an extent, and have existed for over 1000 years (long before they were 'officially recognised breeds') in their home regions to be active little birds which could find most of their own food (their original peasant owners couldn't spare much valuable grain in this mainly cattle/pasture region) and be nimble and alert enough to avoid being eaten by foxes. The Netherlands is also one home country of Sabelpoot Bantams (also developed in England as 'Booted Bantams' & Germany as 'Federfussige Zwerghuhner', one of the most extreme (huge feathering on legs & feet, plus an wide range of plumage colours & patterns) and obvious examples of selective breeding. Some of the colour varieties are fairly new, but Booteds/Federfussiges/Sabelpoots generally were first developed well over 200 years ago. Google the breed names to get pictures.

Do people use selective breeding or shared dominance to develop different dog breeds?
Using selective breeding is exactly how people produced the different dog breeds. They discovered dogs that had the characteristics or skills they wanted and bred them.

Are dogs genetically modified?
No, dogs as a species have not been genetically modified. However, selective breeding over time has led to different breeds with specific characteristics.
Why is selective breeding done in cattle?
Selective breeding is done in cattle because cattlemen and breeders with their cattle herds and/or breeds they care for and manage are always improving the genetics and productivity of their animals. Every breed has its faults, so cattlemen and farmers are always selecting animals to improve the cowherd and culling out those that are not improving the herd.

How is cross breeding different from selective breeding?
Cross breeding is simply taking two breeds of animals and mating them together (Such as a Charolais crossed with a Hereford). Where selective breeding is selecting the what two animals you want bred together to produce a better animal.

Selective breeding.
What is the name of the method used by human to create many different breeds of dogs?
Artificial selection or selective breeding.
What breeds of dog are not selectively bred?
All defined breeds are selectively bred. Maybe different breeders have slightly different goals, but as long as humans decide which dog mates with which, then it is selective breeding. Only time breeding isn't selective is when the dogs are free to mate as THEY wish. As with street dogs.
When a rancher breeds only the best cows for milk production the process involved is called?
Cattle breeding or selective breeding or transitioning from ranching to dairy farming.
How are genetic engineering and selective breeding the same?
Selective breeding is a category that has genetic engineering in it. while selective breeding is choosing a trait or feature to breed on, genetic engineering is a man made change in a subjects genes
What are the features that all the different breeds of dog have been developed from the wolf by selective breeding?
All the breeds have been found to howl at the moon just like the wolf.
