No it is not. Evolution is a natural process of adaption for survivability over thousands of years. Designer dogs are a result of a man made process (selective breeding) for profit over a short period of time.

What is interspeciation?
Interspeciation is the process of new species evolving from species that are already in existence. An example of this would be the new designer dogs.
Why were designer dogs made?
Designer dogs were primarily made for two reasons:People believed they were cute.Breeders could turn a large profit off of them.
What actors and actresses appeared in Designer Dogs - 2002?
The cast of Designer Dogs - 2002 includes: Alex Chadwick as Narrator Beth Joy Knutsen
Why doesn't inbreeding depression by itself cause evolution?
It can, over a long enough period of time. Breeds of dogs, for example, were created by inbreading.

The Evolution of Trickster Stories Among the Dogs of North Park After the Change was created in 2007.

A hyena is a member of the dog family true or false?
Hyenas are part of the order Carnivora, like dogs, but unlike dogs, are part of the suborder Feliformia. Thus, they are more closely related to cats, mongoose, and meerkats than to dogs. They look like dogs and fill a similar niche to dogs, thus representing a good example of convergent evolution.
Can all mutations cause evolution?
Mutations often occur without evolution. Every human child, for example, has dozens of new mutations that he/she did not inherit from his/her parents. Evolution is dependent on a statistically significant change in allele frequencies. In layman's terms, the species - in general - has to change for evolution to have occurred.Here is an example: Right now, how many legs do dogs have? They have 4 legs. Is this true or ALL dogs? No, but in general dogs have 4 legs. Most dogs have 4 legs. If a puppy were born with 5 legs, it would be a "weird" dog. Just because it has a new mutation does not mean dogs have evolved.However, if you were to go to the future 100 years from now and find out that dogs now have 5 legs. It is now 'normal' for dogs to have 5 legs. A dog born with only 4 legs is a 'weird' dog. - Then evolution has occurred. The species (dogs) has changed (in general).*The change has to be "statistically significant" within the species to count. If dogs change from 1% having 5 legs to 2% having 5 legs, it's probably not significant. If it changes from 1% to 90% that is very significant. Those examples are obvious, but where do you draw the line? You will learn how to find out significance in statistics class.A mutation could potentially lead to evolution, but every mutation is not guaranteed to cause evolution. In fact, most mutations do NOT lead to evolution. It entirely depends on the gene, the mutation, the species, and things like: the environment (natural selection), human choice (artificial selection), or chance (genetic drift). Most mutations are either unnoticed (occur in dormant genes, or they do not make a difference in protein structure or function), or they are harmful. It's a lot easier to mess something up than to improve it.*Keep in mind however, all evolution is not better. That is not part of the definition. Evolution is just change in the species over time. Natural selection is usually evolution that's improvement. People often assume that natural selection and evolution are the same, but they are not. Evolution can be harmful or just neutral. For example, if I keep breeding dogs that are blind, I can evolve dogs to include blindness as a normal trait. However, that would be detrimental to the life of dogs now.
How have dogs changed over the ages?
evolution. and breeding with other types of dogs. it's quite simple, really.
What is a part of macro-evolution?
Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.
What are genotypes that would be considered purebred?
Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, German Shepard, Bichon, Poodle, Shih Tzu, etc.. An example of a hybrid breed or designer dog would be a labradoodle, goldendoodle, malti-poo, puggle. Those are cross breed dogs, or mixed breed dogs
Is in dogs an adverb phrase?
It can be, as in the example: "This disease occurs in dogs." (modifies occurs, answers where)
