i often find that my own dog is what seems "normal" in terms of size, snout shape and length, etc. when i had a 75-lb lab with an ex partner, he seemed normal. then when we split up and i got a 35-lb dog, she seemed normal and he seemed huge when i saw him on visits. now, both by 140-lb and 35-lb dogs seem normal, and sometimes the larger one even looks small and vulnerable to me. maybe having two vastly different dogs helps me "see" all dogs differently now? dunno.
