yea we can actually determine canines development. We can breed certain animals like canines into better breeds or atleast different ones. Others evolve on their own out in the wild to adapt to thier environment. We can creat hybrid plants and animals. (I myself have had a hybrid cichlid and tried to breed them). We have and can do many things to other living organics in this world. Who knows maybe one day it will be us humans whom are the onces being develop, into other than what we only know as humans now
