Interbreeding animals such as dogs is not evidence for evolution. There are no new features created, instead it's an amalgamation of the features of the two types of dogs being interbred.
Strangely enough, they're still dogs. They're not some new species. You don't find interbreding birds and dogs producing offspring. So you have a group of dogs that wouldn't naturally breed and you force them to interbreed and it produces an offspring. That's not evidence for evolution anymore than a black and white human being interbreeding. They both belong to the same species. They produce a human being. How on earth does this show that a single cell evolved into man?

Well technically you could argue that dogs that would not naturally interbreed are different species. A geographical barrier or a structural difference that prevent interbreeding can lead to speciation.
You're caught up in the definition. The accumulation of these differences over time leads to speciation. The huge variation in dogs over 2000 years is undeniable that selective pressures can lead to large morphological changes.
