Sometimes your mouth may be a bit high for a toy dog, you might want to try around your waist high. I have seen some dogs look up really high like your mouth and it tends to through their top lines off because they have tipped their heads back so far. Try for the waist especially for puppies.
This is what works for me.... There is always exceptions to every dog.
