Wook at da widdle shnookums!
And it's amazing all the dog breeds are still the same species. And, on a genetic level they are still so closely related to wolves that, if I am correct, one can, in theory, breed a dog with a wolf and the offspring will be "viable", meaning they can breed as well. Obviously, there are certain practical limitations. Odds are things will not pan out introducing wolf sperm into a female Chihuahua, but the opposite would pose little problem....providing the Chi' can jump high enough to, ahem, reach the wolf.

Indeed. We had talks about our Riley, both at home and at work. She's a supermutt. They analyzed her likely family tree. One parent was a mix of Chihuahua, Cocker Spaniel, and Miniature Schnauzer. That parent would have been relatively small, probably 20ish pounds. The another parent was American Staffordshire Terrier, Chow Chow along with mixes of different breed groups. That parent would have been a bit larger, maybe 40 pounds as we can see some Staffie in her, in place of Chihuahua traits.
I think the bigger one was Riley's mother was the Staffie mix, as she had her litter including Riley on the mean streets of San Antonio successfully.
Well, I'm here!
Is that possibly played in reverse? I mean the Corgi's cheeks should be pulled downward if he's raising his head. instead, they are "squished" upwards which is more likely if he's dropping from view.
Oh, it's darling, regardless! I just noticed the jowls and wondered...hmm.

Even the breeds we know today are far different than they were 100 years ago.

That's not even taking into account the myriad health issues brought on by all the inbreeding they do to get the "perfect" dog. The English Bulldog in particular.
Those are the two biggest issues with the bulldog. Problem is, it's been going on so long, a rescue is as likely to have those problems as any breeder's dog. Still, they're really cool dogs.
Unfortunately a lot of bullies are given up because of their health issues. We honestly just don’t want to encourage any more breeding. Puppies of any breed are so adorabull but we want to give old duffers another chance.
