I think (from what I've read on breeder's sites) a doll face and teddy bear are the same meaning-has a flat round nose and otherwise it is the standard "pointier" snout...anyone here really breed to standards; know the technical terms for all this (?) and/or weather there is a conformity issue on the snout formation...like something in AKC show standards? I looked on the site about breed standard and have never seen anything about it myself have really wondered as I prefer the flatter shorter snout but noticed a lot of show dogs have the longer pointier snout...I have noticed shorter nosed Yorkies seem to have wider heads and the longer snout Yorkies seem to have smaller heads too.
Personally I can't tell from you pics the pup cut makes it a bit deceiving to see facial bone structure.
