> What makes dogs breeds so different is that the dog genome is extremely plastic

Is there evidence that dogs genome is more plastic than humans?

To my (very limited) knowledge we've not tried selectively breeding humans within bloodlines in anywhere near the same way that breeds of dog have been selected. Are there other domestic animals that have recieved the same degree of breeding but not reached such variation?
