Thought I would share some photos of Remy and Guinness. Hope you enjoy! You can see the size difference Remy is 2 years old and Guinness is 1 year old, Remy is a tad larger than a Shiba should be LOL.
Remy has a very shiba face. He looks more like the pure shiba of the olden days before the cutesy small features are now what is desired by most breeders.
Of the shibas I've lived with and know their faces like the back of my hand... no two faces or features are a like on any of them.
Not to be contrary or anything, (and sorry to jack your thread!) all the "olden" shibas I could find very much like the Shibas of today with very slight differences.
I would be very surprised if Remy's breeders were breeding Jomon Shibas, as I understand they are quite rare. His face just looks more like a Jindo than Shiba IMO. See the following Jindo/Shiba crosses:
I looked at your other thread and postred there too, but I'll say it again. Remy is one handsome dude. I think my Shiba boy looks a lot like your guy, the ears, tail and markings are especially similar. It looks like he gets along well with your little guy Guinness.
They get along great. We made sure to introduce them properly when we brought little Guinness home March 2008. I'll post the video of them when Guinness was a wee pup soon.

And um, not to be rude or anything, but Remy definitely has a more Jindo-esque face/head than a pure Shiba. Just an observation.

Jomon shiba type:

Both your pups are awesome, actually Remy's stoic face reminds me a lot of my male shiba.
Not that I really care since we am not breeding him or being anal about it.
Edit: If this is causing a problem, a mod can delete my posts.
His face does resemble the faces of the Jomon type on that link you shared. Interesting how they reconstructed that skeleton!
And as I recall, there are quite a few shibas on here that are taller/bigger than standard, and quite a few face types as well.
LOL great minds think alike!!
and Guinness is quite the whipper snapper!
Its funny, isn't it? You can buy the best and most $$$ toys, and all they want is a box top!
The shoe box top is hilarious.

That's because Guinness took em all!
Guniness playing with that shoe box top is too cute!!
