Describe someone’s dog as “chubby,” and you’re apt to get glared at, but in at least one breed, it’s a different matter. Tell an English Toy Spaniel owner that his or her dog’s head has a plush, chubby look, and if they know their breed standard, they’ll be more apt to beam. While English Toys can have an air of refinement, it’s this plush “chubby” look that keeps them from looking coarse. In large part, this is due to cushioning under large, very dark and round eyes gives the head its soft, appealing countenance.
