yeah..the picture doesn't show it and its not nearly as extreme as the one in the link. But in person you can tell her head is kindof dome-shaped. The one in the link looks like she has hydrocephalis to me

I just wanted to let you know that I think your little girl is adorable.

I always think of the teddy bear face as short snout like a bear, and the baby doll face as more like a human doll would look with the round head far-set eyes and small nose/snout. Your dog is a cutie, and I guess I would call it the teddy bear face.

wow. honestly those poor babies look so weird to me! not cute at all.. they look kind of warped or something. their eyes are too far apart. I read somewhere that the space between the eyes should be less than the length of the nose or something? I cant remember exactly.

anyway, im attaching two pictures. the first is what i picture whenever someone says they want a "babydoll face." the second is my 4 month old. the length of her nose is on the shorter side, and her eyes are not far apart. I dont think she has an "applehead," it is round though, but not like those dogs you showed in the example! ive had people comment on here that she has a "babydoll face," but I dont necessarily agree. esp when i compare her to that first dog!

You are right, not babydoll faced yorkies are appleheads and your 2 pictures are a good example of babydolls... I happen to like all the different looks of Yorkies. I have Desi, who (to me) has more of a teddy bear face, which is lots of hair on a more rounder face. I have Millie who has a more standard face and I have Ricky, who is more of a babydoll face. I love all 3 looks...

Those are cute lulababy.

I think it goes... the link between the eyes should be equal to the length of the muzzle. I think someone will correct me I'm sure if I'm wrong, well I hope.

I won't comment on the breed standard but these little babies are irresistible!! Mine came from a breeder who doesn't breed for that look; sometimes you can just get that look anyway. I bought a full brother of hers 1 year later and he doesn't look like her at all. He's 6 pounds while she is 3 pounds, the face is different too. Maybe the other posters are right about the health issues in breeding for the baby-doll look but you can get one from a standard breeding sometimes. I love my little girl to death (her name is Heidi) and she has me wrapped around her paw. Here's a couple of pics. She's a mess but she's adorable anyway.

What a little beauty she is..my last yorkie was called Heidi too..I lost her last year aged 14
