It depends on the species. Some dog species can survive in the wild, it really depends on the breeds and if they came from the wild (for example, coyotes can be let go if needed). The idea that all breeds are unified under a single umbrella of "dogs" comes from the Victorian era's need to classify everything, it's not accurate.
