<< 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*. >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- Myra and Laura...In my opinion, you are absolutely correct. I live near the Mexican border and have been on many camping trips to Baja over the years. There are "dingos" all over. Also, if you have ever seen photos of Native Americans in their native environment, you will see dingo looking dogs with them. Dogs are not meant to have sweet plushy faces with melting dark eyes. We have fashioned them the way they are and Mother Nature is kept very busy trying to confound our efforts.
