Unless a dowel is made of a wood as dense as walnut they should decrease the weight a very small amount. As for moisture making a dowel 'stretch', that is unlikely if it the dowel was properly quarter sawn with the grain parallel to the dowel. The moisture content of wood has very little bearing on shrinkage and swelling parallel to the grain.
