That is probably what would happen. If anyone wants to know what features are hard to keep in their breed, I believe we just need to remember that. If you have a larger breed, unless a breeder is careful the size will try to come down. A smaller breed will try to get bigger. A very long, narrow muzzled breed will tend to get a bit wider and shorter. A very short, wide muzzle will tend to get longer and narrower. We are probably always fighting this attempt to return to a *norm*.
