The parent species, which is the wolf, doesn't show this diversity.

But humans probably interbred wolves with coyotes, dingos, foxes, and other canine species.

I don't think the DNA evidence bears that out, but I'm not an expert in this.

Coyotes are "wolves". Foxes are "not wolves".

You can play with those foxes all day long and all you're gonna' get is a sexed out dog ~ with no pups.

Dingos are dogs and no they didn't, at least not successfully enough to show up in the DNA.
