My personal belief is that its HAPPINESS ON OVER LOAD. A smile can be submissive like only the front teeth, but not the canines, but I have seen it more as pure JOY.. The way a dog meets a mate so to speak. Hottie does also the " nose around the corner" we call it. Its like the nose goes to one side- showing one side of teeth all the way back to the molars almost. Its rather funny.
In what I have seen in the ones I have had that smile ( shepherds and collies included) its flat out joy, almost to the point they loose themselves in sillyness.. lol..
