Tia is an apple head and she has a longer body with long legs.. She is certainly unique especially with her 1/2 lc .. Lol.. She has a neck ruff and pants in the front but not ear tufts and her fur in the back while not being as short as short coat is definitely shorter than a long coat. She also has lost most of the hair on the front of her neck.. As never had much on her belly and knees and elbows..

The AKC Chihuahua standard calls for the "apple-headed" type but the "deer-headed" ones are just as much Chihuahua as the "standard" ones are as far as personality! They are both cute in their own ways. I, personally, prefer the "apple-headed" look in a Chi with the shorter nose,big bulgy eyes and shorter, more "cobby" bodies. Then again, some of the "deer-types" are adorable with their huge ears and delicate features! So cute!

BUT, the standards do call for a well rounded dome and a short nose...so basically, that is what we refer to as a applehead. Deerfaced chis are a term used to describe chis with longer noses and more terrier like head shapes. It is NOT an official term, just one in common use. While a applehead is actually the one that meets standards, that does NOT mean that the deerfaced ones are any less chi...just means that by standards they are not considered "quality" but imo, to each his own......
