dogs are all one species and there's no biological features or genetic features that allow one to tell breeds of dogs apart, that a particular dog is a particular breed is a subjective human aesthetic judgement
Except for size, strength, character, and all the morphological differences which create the aforementioned aesthetic judgement ![Face Palm :palm:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/facepalm.gif)
And guess what, all of that is down to genetics unless you believe that dogs have souls which even many religions don't believe.
How can you even post such a thing?
Because it's true - ask any biologist. If they are not one species how come you can interbreed two different breeds of dog and what you get out is .... a dog and no matter how often you breed down that line you keep getting dogs. [...] Don't facepalm people when you're talking about something that you clearly know nothing about.
If all that matters to you is sex

then yes, there are indeed no features that would allow you to tell dog breeds apart
But your statement as you wrote it is nonsense and no biologist would have difficulties telling dog breeds apart by features other than reproductive compatibility. Or even aesthetics.
It never cease to amaze me how people will sideline a conversation about one thing
You did by introducing a non-sequitur and insulting those who pointed it out.
(race is not a real biological phenomenon, it is a social invention, humans are one species) (dogs are all one species too).
Nobody cares if dogs or humans are one species, maybe you. And the fact that they are has nothing to do with races/breeds/subspecies which are all
by definition classifications of discernible subpopulations within one species. Maybe go inform the biologists that they are wasting their time even thinking about such things and should better twiddle their thumbs until the populations diverge enough to become incompatible because the subject of their studies isn't a real natural phenomenon otherwise.
I also don't think anyone would have trouble telling human races apart based on biological features. If you think about it, the whole idea of race wouldn't even exist otherwise and we wouldn't be having a thread about racism here.
<total troll mode on>
Maybe nuclearcat is right and you are just pretending that race isn't real to obscure the reality that white people like you are racist
