" "Apple-dome" skull; full, round eyes, set well apart; well defined stop that forms a near 90 degree angle where the muzzle joins the skull; muzzle moderately short" In other words, "apple-headed" Chis have a rounder skull, larger/wider set eyes, a more defined stop and shorter muzzle than the "deer headed" Chis. They also tend to have shorter legs and a cobbier-style (thicker) body than the "deers". Here's a pic of Gizmo who is an "apple head".... Stefanie
