On Nova: Dogs Decoded, scientists have completely mapped the dog genome and found that the difference between the breeds is only 0.02%. That's right, only 0.02% genetic difference between a French poodle and a Labrador retriever.

The other 99.98% comes from the gray wolf. This is has been determined by maternal mitochodrial testing and that dog's become domesticated about 170 million years ago.
