As a marketing term, it usually means someone has gone too far with a trait. I'd run from anyone using that word (extreme).
One thing about the very short faces. They do seem to have more dental issues than others. It's very hard to tell with a pup sometimes, though. Darla, in my avatar, has matured with a smaller face than she showed as a pup. It's not 'extreme' but is nicely proportioned. One other thing about the doll faces. Round eyes often accompany very short snouts. The breed standard calls for almond eyes and usually the snout follows through. I've never seen the 'very' short snout with almond eyes. |
Darla does have a gorgeous face! I've heard that yorkies under four pounds have more problems with dental, teeth are too crowded sometimes, I wonder if it has more to do with the fact that the snout is too short than overall weight?
