Dogs and All about Them

HEAD--The
head
is
narrow
in
proportion
to
its
length
and
long
in
proportion
to
the
body,
tapering
but
slightly
from
the
temples
to
the
end
of
the
muzzle
thus
(when
viewed
from
above
and
in
front)
having
the
appearance
of
being
flattened
at
the
sides
and
of
being
nearly
equal
in
width
throughout
its
entire
length.
In
profile
the
upper
outline
of
the
skull
is
nearly
in
the
same
plane
as
that
of
the
foreface.
The
length
from
end
of
nose
to
stop
(midway
between
the
eyes)
should
be
not
less
than
that
from
stop
to
back
of
occipital
protuberance
(peak).
The
entire
length
of
head
from
the
posterior
part
of
the
occipital
protuberance
to
the
end
of
the
muzzle
should
be
12
inches,
or
more,
in
dogs,
and
11
inches,
or
more,
in
bitches.
SKULL--The
skull
is
long
and
narrow,
with
the
occipital
peak
very
pronounced.
The
brows
are
not
prominent,
although,
owing
to
the
deep-set
eyes,
they
may
have
that
appearance.
FOREFACE--The
foreface
is
long,
deep,
and
of
even
width
throughout,
with
square
outline
when
seen
in
profile.
EYES--The
eyes
are
deeply
sunk
in
the
orbits,
the
lids
assuming
a
lozenge
or
diamond
shape,
in
consequence
of
the
lower
lids
being
dragged
down
and
everted
by
the
heavy
flews.
The
eyes
correspond
with
the
general
tone
of
colour
of
the
animal,
varying
from
deep
hazel
to
yellow.
The
hazel
colour
is,
however,
to
be
preferred,
although
very
seldom
seen
in
red-and-tan
hounds.
