Re: I think I made a mistake...(oh & a question)
I think she is beautiful and you wil find she will have periods when her head seems really small. You may not have purchased from a backyard breeder. One or two dogs does not mean a backyard breeder. My friend, who is far from a backyard breeder, has one female and she has decided to foster a pup until she decides if she likes her line. She doesn't want to produce quantity and wants to keep it to only breeding the absolute best dogs from her line. She does the testing, goes to great length to find the right male and she also feeds the puppies the best food you can imagine. I remember her phoning me grumbling that the Neo went through a hunger strike when she was pregnant and she was so worried about her and the puppies that she found the best raw recipe she could and then processed it up into a soup and used a turkey baster to feed the dog. She was practically throwing up but the dog started eating after that.
Also, her story on how she got into breeding is a rescue story when she purchased a full grown adult from a kennel whose breeder who had died. She was already looking for a puppy, wasn't interested in starting with an adult but she came across her dog. She went to see her, the grief stricken husband offered her a reduction in price to take the dog right away. She declined at first, and said she wanted to go over her papers and pedigree and would get back to him. In the end, she fell in love with the dog and ended up with her first dog for her line.
It is very easy to second guess yourself but you may have simply have come across breeders who are just starting out. I mean, you start out with one and go from there. I think she is beautiful and she looks very similar to Daisy. There are days when I look at Daisy and think, her head just seems to small compared to her chest or her mask seems kind of light. Then the next day, whatever growth had been happening has finally caught up and she looks perfect again. Of course, I love her temperament and personality so much, I would still love her even if she looked nothing like the EM breed standard.
Rachiemay Jagger had HUGE ears at 4 months but they looked drastically different at 
6 months...they really do go through crazy stages, she's beautiful your happy together that's all that matters. I posted my story about doing the same thing with Jagger 
. We are changing our ignorance and passing on knowledge learned that is the difference
