Dogs and All about Them

EARS--The
ears
are
thin
and
soft
to
the
touch,
extremely
long,
set
very
low,
and
fall
in
graceful
folds,
the
lower
parts
curling
inwards
and
backwards.
WRINKLE--The
head
is
furnished
with
an
amount
of
loose
skin
which
in
nearly
every
position
appears
super-abundant,
but
more
particularly
so
when
the
head
is
carried
low;
the
skin
then
falls
into
loose,
pendulous
ridges
and
folds,
especially
over
the
forehead
and
sides
of
the
face.
NOSTRILS--The
nostrils
are
large
and
open.
LIPS,
FLEWS,
AND
DEWLAP--In
front
the
lips
fall
squarely,
making
a
right-angle
with
the
upper
line
of
the
foreface,
whilst
behind
they
form
deep,
hanging
flews,
and,
being
continued
into
the
pendent
folds
of
loose
skin
about
the
neck,
constitute
the
dewlap,
which
is
very
pronounced.
These
characters
are
found,
though
in
a
less
degree,
in
the
bitch.
NECK,
SHOULDERS,
AND
CHEST--The
neck
is
long,
the
shoulders
muscular
and
well
sloped
backwards;
the
ribs
are
well
sprung,
and
the
chest
well
let
down
between
the
forelegs,
forming
a
deep
keel.
LEGS
AND
FEET--The
fore-legs
are
straight
and
large
in
bone,
with
elbows
squarely
set;
the
feet
strong
and
well
knuckled
up;
the
thighs
and
second
thighs
(gaskins)
are
very
muscular;
the
hocks
well
bent
and
let
down
and
squarely
set.
BACK
AND
LOINS--The
back
and
loins
are
strong,
the
latter
deep
and
slightly
arched.
STERN--The
stern
is
long
and
tapering
and
set
on
rather
high,
with
a
moderate
amount
of
hair
underneath.
GAIT--The
gait
is
elastic,
swinging,
and
free--the
stern
being
carried
high,
but
not
too
much
curled
over
the
back.
COLOUR--The
colours
are
black-and-tan,
red-and-tan,
and
tawny--the
darker
colours
being
sometimes
interspersed
with
lighter
or
badger-coloured
hair
and
sometimes
flecked
with
white.
A
small
amount
of
white
is
permissible
on
chest,
feet,
and
tip
of
stern.
