I'm afraid that isn't true, EvilEye. Poodles are members of the species Canis lupus familiaris and so are Great Danes. These were both bred into existence through artifical selection from the same common ancestor (wolf), which is simply evolution with the selection pressure provided by human aesthetic taste rather than a selection pressure provided by survival for long enough to propagate genes. Artificial selection has happened (knowingly or not) in cows, dogs, ponies and many types of animal, domestic or not. More natural form of evolutions are also testable and repeatable in laboratories with rapid reproducers suchs as flies or bacteria.
