| Very wide cheekbones round out head, look out of proportion to muzzle, lose height and plane | Wide cheekbones with crisp lines emphasize wedge shape | High cheekbones with width for eye | Narrower cheekbones don't allow for such a large eye, eye may tilt, wedge often becomes longer than wide | Very narrow cheekbones result in a straighter line from muzzle to ear, no sense of crossing planes. Eyes small and/or tilted |
