“look at the actual fossil record, which includes millions of classified specimens, you will see most lineages connected by transitions much finer than the differences between dog breeds.”
Are you saying we have millions of transitional fossils, which indicate the many fine/subtle changes allegedly connecting A(naconda) to Z(ebra)?
Millions total. What I said was we have many lineages with gradations finer than that between breeds of dogs.

But what is more interesting is that over the last 150 years, evolution has predicted the finding of such fossils, and has predicted where to look for them. No other interpretation of fossils requires or predicts the finding of transitional forms or explains why they are found in certain strata and not others.
