It's very easy. While this issue, on the average affects tinies. It can occur on those pups that are of normal size.
When you have a pup in your hands, gently run your thumb through every inch of a pups skull. If an open fontanel is there it is recognized by a soft indentation. It can be as small as a pin head, but you'll be able to feel it. Sometimes they are more evident than that, just as in a human babies soft spot.
