Head shapes?

I know I might sound a bit slow.. but I've seen some discussion on here about shapes of heads. Can anyone explain what "snipey" heads means? Even better with a picture? And what a head is like that is "too heavy?" I have a particular fondness for a certain type of head and I'm wondering what heads are "bad" and "good?"

Thanks so much, I love all my DT'ers <3

-JB.

A snipey muzzle is pointed and weak, lacking fill under the eyes. They kinda look like they stuck their nose in a pencil sharpener.

This link has a drawing of a snipey muzzle in the section on deviations: Head

It can take years to get to the point where you can really start seeing the standard when you look at a dog - I'm still working on it and will be for a long time.

This is amazing stuff. To my novice eye, some of those deviation sketches look almost the same vs the std LOL.

Is there a particular reason besides not having the right 'look' why slight deviations are not good? E.g. what if it's too 'cheeky' or has a 'lippy muzzle': is there a functional reason why these are bad?

Thanks!!

Deviations can affect function. A snipey muzzle, for example, creates a situation where the strength of the jaws is compromised. Loose lips can result in the dog biting their own lips when they're doing bitework.

I see. That's logical, thanks.

I found the link very interesting at first but decided I had to stop reading because it turns out Zaccy's head is not at all up to standard, but I don't care - as far as I'm concerned he's still the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life and I adore him, defective head or not
