It is pure hubris - but then breeding is all about getting the same traits repeated, time after time after time, and dogs are the most intensly bred animals there are - you can't turn a wolf into a toy poodle with a family tree that branches! Your heading is ironic - after all Lassie was played by multiple dogs, and were all bred to be indistinguisable from each other as the TV series went on year after year.  For that bit of intense breeding, Mr. Weatherwax is the one dog breeder the average person could name.  When the notion of selective breeding was introduced in 18th century England, it met with considerable resistance from those who protested the incestous relations necessary to achieve its desired genetic isolation.  I think those folk had a better sense of the natural world than we do today.  Had their outlook carried the day, perhaps we wouldn't be faced with the repulsive spectacle of cloning today.
