It comes down to definition of terms, English words to sub-optimally describe a genetic process... How do you define selective breeding - if humans are selecting for short legs and long torso and small and short hair, over time you will get a Daschund-type shape and look. If selective breeding can include discarding/disliking puppies/young dogs without responsive eyes, then most likely humans did selectively breed dogs for desirable "eye contact" traits. It's quite reasonable given we "chose" dogs for many less physically obvious qualities like temperament, utility, and intelligence. In the end, we are using words to describe genetic processes. The genetics of dogs have changed remarkably both over the last 200k years and over the last 500 years. In my view, it's a combination of natural selection, unconscious selection, and conscious selection of breeding individuals.
