Good to know! I read the "fox face" one for the first time last night...and yes it probably is just that: marketing terms...but I have noticed that a lot of show dogs seem to have the "fox face" more than the "teddy bear" and wondered if there was any real reasoning behind it or a conformity issue. Perhaps it's just the genetics (facial bone structures of the parents) of the lines being shown in the ring...
And MyLil Rose I forgot to say either/or, you have a lil cutie on your hands
...I often refer to my Elvis as having a Wookie face
...not sure that marketing term will ever catch on though...maybe Ewok faced Yorkies will be the next marketing term...sounds cute to me until I think about pug nasal issues
(i.e. brachycephalic
dogs).
