There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Well, technically they have to be selectively-bred by humans with the aim of enhancing a/few specific desired genetic traits. 

Natural selection > subspecies
Artificial selection> breeds

Other than that they are the same thing... Nobody bothered to find out the subspecies in stay dogs (there could be scores), otherwise we could compare the differences between it & breeds.
