No, what modern evolutionary biology says is that dogs produce dogs, just slightly different dogs rather than identical copies of the parent. I doubt you find this position controversial in the slightest, it's just that in order to retain your stubborn presupposition you refuse to accept the corollary position that, if Dog A gives birth to Dog B who is slightly different from its parent, then Dog B's offspring will be slightly more different still, and that this is true not only across multiple generations, but for every individual dog on the planet, and that none of those dogs is bound to produce subtly different offspring in the same way.
In this way, we get different species; Dog B gives birth to Dog C, C to D, D to E, and so on, and they're all a little different from their parents, with those differences slowly widening the gap between them and Dog B. Once you get to Dog Z, those differences will be very noticeable indeed. Now imagine what would happen if you can repeat the alphabet when you reach the end, with each letter corresponding to another generation; Dog Z on the fiftieth go around would be entirely different to the original Dog B, potentially enough that we can no longer call it the same species, even though it's still an offspring roughly similar to Dog Y on the fiftieth circuit. So yes, dogs produce dogs, but in every generation those dogs continue to drift away from the initial dog. If you look at the process end to end, rather than stubbornly insisting upon seeing only one generation at a time, you see a change in species.
Your position is that this can't happen, and yet you've offered absolutely no mechanism that can prevent it from happening, let alone demonstrated that it actually exists. You keep yammering on about how there's no observations, but when it comes to your own positive claim you offer nothing at all.
Why on earth should anyone care about what amounts to your personal opinion, when there's actual evidence that contradicts that?
