Bullmastiff puppies have been around for some two hundred years now, although they have not yet been acknowledged as pure breeds for one entire century. The longer a breed has been around, the more refined the breed becomes, and therefore more attractive through the passage of time.
Anyone who knows a little about genetics knows that the gene pool tends to improve over generations. Since a puppy takes traits from both its mother and its father, and can even inherit some traits straight from either of its grandparents, some traits take priority over others. Dominant genes are those that take priority over their recessive counterparts. Recessive traits take many generations to disappear entirely, but after several generations, they often do go away.
Luckily for Bullmastiff Puppies , the combination of most dominant traits result in more desirable qualities, and the combination of most recessive traits less desirable. Many of these characteristics improve the aesthetic qualities, such as body proportions, eye and fur color. According to these findings, as the years and generations pass, the rising generations of Bullmastiff puppies become more attractive than the previous generations.
There is considerable photographic evidence to support this theory. There is a prize handful of photographs of Bullmastiff puppies from the mid 20th century just barely after the Bullmastiff stock was officially declared its own breed. When compared with the pick of the litter Bullmastiff puppies of today, the verdict is clear: the modern puppies are cuter by breeder s standards.
Before modern owners get too haughty about these findings, they must remind themselves that at this rate, their puppies will not be as cute as their children will be and even less so than their grandchildren. By the same token, future generations can be expected to inherit and pass on a slew of desirable qualities.
