What is the degree of genetic difference between different breeds of dogs?

Have you been watching that Martin Clunes?  I needed to identify a dog breed the other day... how do I do that?

Contact the Kennel Club.

One for me.

They are falling, in a curve due to their forward speed (17,000mph) - it's just that the Earth curves away by the same amount.
