"growth hormones" in meat byproduct-meal-based cattle feeds might well have an "effect". Certain commercial dog/pet foods have traces of this growth hormone residue also. And meats and meat by-products from your USA supermarket have this same growth hormone residue in them whether these are fed cooked or raw. I can't say that this does or does not have an effect on the mature height of a dog, or anything else, but I'd want to look at an extended pedigree (over three generations) before I ruled out genetics. After all, if you grew an inch, that height increase in a Cavalier might be proportionally very much less.
