The breeding programs of dogs were done without the benefit of genetics.
For that matter, we have chickens, cows, etc.

I think you are mistaken. Almost all dog breeds were developed during
the last 150 years.

In their modern form. But those forms were based on then existing
varieties.

The most conservative estimate puts the domestication of the dog back
to at least 12,000 years ago -- the Clovis paleoindians had them, for
example. A few people, like Robert K. Wayne and Temple Grandin, put
them as far back as 135,000 years ago. They may have warned us about
Neandertal sneak attacks.
