Actually, all that is really needed is that white come up from the neck to the lower jaw so that there is white somewhere on the head.. some of course have alot more and have those beautiful blazes, some have much less and have lovely dark faces.. as of right now, it is a personal preference and the judges have been much more interested in structure and character of the dogs than what color is where, as they should be.. color is of such miniscule importance in the overall value of the dog when you consider all the other issues like health, character, ear set, top line, tail set, size, pedigree etc etc etc.. we have way to many other things to concern ourselves about as breeders than to worry about if we have a symmetry in our faces.

i think that the standard should be followed and that a person should not intentionaly breed to go outside of that. the breeders that are breeding such adark face are changing the look of the biewer. i said that i could understand if this was just a flaw that poped up but these breeders in this thread are buying black-face males for breeding and are toting that they have perfectly bred dogs when they dont. when i see mr and mrs biewer's dogs i dont see an all black face and i'm pretty sure he worked hard to what he considered to be the correct look. if its a flaw than i think that it should be told to buyers and not have a few people saying how perfect they are.
