 | I dont know if it fits the actual definition, but I have always thought Ziris had a snipey head. She is also a little downfaced.
The best picture I have to show what I mean...

After all, we're talking about living things here. Pointless to think one can have a specimen that will match 'perfection' as dictated by the std in every way/shape/form, so that only thing is to strive towards it.
Dobes all have their own different looks. To date, I've only seen 1 ugly one, the rest are typically noble-looking.

Every dog has faults, there never been a perfect dog born yet. If everyone refused to educate themselves further because the material doesn't say what they want it to say, then the breed would be in big trouble.

But it's given really minor weight.
There have been a couple of threads on this in the recent past-you can find them with a search.
Most puppies have these markings, they usually disappear as they grow up. If they don't, it's not any big deal.
