Actually it's more like Darwinism that ID. The dogs lived or not depending on the environment (us). The mutations they presented were all caused naturally, and the genetic combinations were only controlled by breeding. This is artificial selection, which inspired Darwin with the idea of natural selection.

ID would be if we designed the wrinkle gene and inserted it into the Shar-Pei, or designed a spotted gene and made Dalmatians, etc.

The point here was, in any case, that speciation has been observed.

Artificial selection by definition is not natural selection, thus the mechanism is not Darwinian, it is id. Period, end of story.
