Professional researchers often pair the Pekingese skull with the Chihuahua dog skull replica. Specialists also include the borzoi dog skull replica although the domestic English bulldog remains a favorite for comparison. These specimens illustrate the extreme range of canine morphology therefore students can study varied skeletal shapes.

Craniodental Cranial Structure

Pekingese skulls show a brachycephalic architecture therefore the specimen features a flat topskull. This wide cranium appears furthermore because breeders selected for a rectangular face. Scientists identify this specimen by its unique foramen magnum. Every enlarged opening remains a critical diagnostic trait specifically because it differentiates the breed.

These specimens illustrate the extreme range of canine morphology therefore students can study varied skeletal shapes. Physical models provide a tactile way to understand domestic evolution specifically because they highlight extreme cranial shifts.
