Are & have Dogs been Evolving?

They've been selectively bred by humans for certain characteristics.

All species, including dogs are constantly evolving. With every new generation there are approx. 100 new mutations. These mutations are "tested" throughout the animals life, and that of its offspring. If the mutation give the animal a higher chance of survival in its environment, then over time it will reach across the whole species. This is why evolution takes thousands and millions of years to work.

yes. if you simply think about 'wild dogs', wolves etc that are related to dogs, obviously they have a common wild ancestor. dogs have evolved to be more domesticated? that's the best word i can think of. i mean, you can domesticate lots of wild animals but now it seems like it's in their blood to be 'mans best friend'. well. lots of dogs are bred now for certain things too and that is also evolving them in a way. sheep dogs evovling to be better guards or something.

sorry that wasn't very helpful XP

no because most dogs have owners which means they do not have to adapt to anything because their needs are provided by humans. The only way a dog could 'evolve' is by a human modifying it's genes.

well if you count selective breeding as evolution, yes, cuz selective breeding is just like man made evolution.

many dog breeds are engineered with selective breeding
