The look is bold, not bulging. The eye rims are black and the white of the eye does not show when the dog is looking straight ahead. It is deep. This is very short and broad with high, wide cheek bones. The color of the skin is black.
Whiskers add to the Oriental expression.
The lower jaw is slightly undershot. The lips meet on a level plane and neither teeth nor tongue show when the mouth is closed. The lower jaw is strong, wide, firm and straight across at the chin. An excessively strong chin is as undesirable as a weak one. They are heart-shaped and set on the front corners of the skull extending the line of the topskull.
