The term that describes an extending nose and a receding jaw, often associated with an overshot bite, is known as "fore face." This anatomical feature is characterized by a prominent upper jaw and a less pronounced lower jaw, giving the appearance of an elongated snout. This can be a common trait in certain dog breeds where such structural features are either preferred or typical.

The other terms do not refer to this specific trait. "Frog face" usually describes a wide and flat face, while "ewe neck" refers to a neck that is arched and resembles that of a sheep, which is unrelated to the features of the jaw and nose. "Forearm," in anatomical context, refers to the section of the limb between the elbow and wrist in quadrupeds and does not pertain to the facial structure at all. Therefore, the term "fore face" appropriately captures the specific structural characteristic outlined in the question.
