SKULL: Capacious and rather squarely formed, giving plenty of room for brain power. The parts over the eyes should be well arched and the whole well covered with hair. JAW: Fairly long, strong, square and truncated. The stop should be well defined to avoid a deerhound face. ( The attention of judges is particularly called to the above properties, as a long narrow head is a deformity.) EYES: Vary according to the color of the dog, dark brown preferred, but in a glaucous or blue dogs, a pearl, wall or china eye is considered typical.(A light eye is most objectionable.) NOSE: Always black, large and capacious. TEETH:Strong and large, evenly placed and level in opposition. EARS: Small, and carried flat to side of head, coated moderately. LEGS: The forelegs should be dead straight, with plenty of bone, removing the body a medium height from the ground, without approaching legginess, and well coated all around. FEET: Small, round; toes well arched, and pads thick and hard. TAIL: It is preferable that there be none. Should never, however, exceed 1 ½ or 2 inches in grown dogs. Whe not natural -born bobtails however, puppies should be docked at the first joint from the body and the operation performed when they are three to four days old. NECK AND SHOULDERS: The neck should be fairly long, arched gracefully and well coated with hair. The shoulders sloping and narrow at the points, the dog standing lower at the shoulder than at the loin. BODY: Rather short and very compact, ribs well sprung and brisket deep and capacious.Slabsidedness highly undesirable. The loin should be very stout and gently arched, while the hindquarters should be round and muscular and with well-let-down hocks, and the hams densely coated with a long thick jacket in excess of any other part. COAT: Profuse, but not so excessive as to give the impression of the dog being over-fat, and of good hard texture, not straight but shaggy, and free from curl.Quality and texture of coat to be considered above mere profuseness. Softness or flatness of coat to be considered a fault. The undercoat should be a waterproof pile, when not removed by grooming or season. COLOR:Any shade of gray, grizzle, blue or blue-merled with or without white markings, or in reverse. (Any shade of brown or sable to be considered distinctly objectionable, and not to be encouraged.) HEIGHT: Twenty-two inches and upwards for dogs and slightly less for bitches, Type character and symmetry are of the greatest importance, and are on no account to be sacrificed for size alone. GENERAL APPEARANCE:A strong compact-looking dog, of great symmetry, practically the same in measurement from shoulder to stern as in height, absolutely free from legginess or weaselness, profusely coated all over, very elastic in his gallop, but in walking or trotting he has a characteristic ambling or pacing movement, and his bark should be loud with a peculiar pot casse ring in it.Taking him all around, he is profusely, but not excessively coated, thick-set, muscualar able-bodied dog with a most intelligent expression, free from all Poodle or Deerhound character. Soundness should be considered of greatest importance. |
