HEAD STUDY
The skull is of medium width, narrowing toward the muzzle. Seen in profile with the ears laid back, the skull is slightly rounded. The upper jaw is moderately filled in under the eyes, so that, when viewed from above, the head forms a wedge tapering smoothly from the back of the skull to the tip of the nose. The stop is definite, but not prominent. The length of the muzzle is slightly less than the length of the skull.

It is the combination of the head, ear set and shape, eye shape and expression that makes the ideal schipperke head.
More pretty heads showing the topskull "slightly rounded" when viewed from the side.

Here is a pretty oval shaped eye with good expression and color. Remember, the standard calls for the eye to be oval...not round. The eye should be dark.

Correct Ear Shape and Set
The ears should be small, triangular, and set close together. They should not be rounded on the tips, nor bell shaped, nor should they tip backwards.
