EYES – Large, round, not prominent, placed well apart, looking straight ahead. Very dark. Lighter on liver pigmented dogs and blue pigmented dogs.
[Fault: Small, close-set or light eyes; excessive eye white.]
CLARIFICATION: A dog may show some eye white, but it should never be so much that it detracts from the warm, sweet expression of the Shih Tzu.
