A mesaticephalic skull is of intermediate length and width. Mesaticephalic skulls are not markedly brachycephalic or dolichocephalic. When dealing with animals, especially dogs, the more appropriate and commonly used term is not "mesocephalic", but rather "mesaticephalic", which is a ratio of head to nasal cavity.  The breeds below exemplify this category.<ref>{{Cite book | vauthors = Evans HE |year=1994 |title=Miller's Anatomy of the Dog |edition=3rd |location=Philadelphia |publisher=Saunders |isbn=9780721632001 |page=132 |oclc=827702042}}<!-- I've expanded the reference based on the available information; I hope the results are correct.
