At one point in history you could get the different varieties in any litter of Belgian Shepherds. Short coat, long coat, black, brindle, tan, etc colors. It just depended on what he/she was bred to. They were bred for function not color or coat.
Different breeders started breeding for one particular type and they started to be separated into "breeds" in some places. AKC does it, UKC does not.
Many of our terrier 'breeds started out the same way. The JRT can still have three different coats in one litter. The Carin terrier came from the West Highland and will occasionally throw a whit pup in the litter. The Norwich used to throw both prick and folded ears so fanciers started breeding for one or the other, thus the Norfolk terrier.
It goes on and on and on!
Yeppers, and current paleogenetic wisdom holds that all dogs everywhere descend from one common proto-canis ancestral breeding population of "Grey Wolves" ... Also, the Russian fox domestication project has yielded some eye-opening data on unanticipated & unintentional Phenotypical Changes produced by a breeding program based SOLELY on selection for progressively less Human-Aggro in each successive generation of controled litters -- Fascinating subjects to contemplate
