Dogs and All about Them

HEAD--The
head
should
be
broadest
at
the
ears,
tapering
slightly
to
the
eyes,
with
the
muzzle
tapering
more
decidedly
to
the
nose.
The
muzzle
should
be
pointed,
but
the
teeth
and
lips
level.
The
head
should
be
long,
the
skull
flat
rather
than
round,
with
a
very
slight
rise
over
the
eyes,
but
with
nothing
approaching
a
stop.
The
skull
should
be
coated
with
moderately
long
hair
which
is
softer
than
the
rest
of
the
coat.
The
nose
should
be
black
(though
in
some
blue-fawns
the
colour
is
blue)
and
slightly
aquiline.
In
the
lighter-coloured
dogs
a
black
muzzle
is
preferred.
There
should
be
a
good
moustache
of
rather
silky
hair,
and
a
fair
beard.
EARS--The
ears
should
be
set
on
high,
and,
in
repose,
folded
back
like
the
Greyhound's,
though
raised
above
the
head
in
excitement
without
losing
the
fold,
and
even,
in
some
cases,
semi-erect.
A
prick
ear
is
bad.
A
big,
thick
ear,
hanging
flat
to
the
head,
or
heavily
coated
with
long
hair,
is
the
worst
of
faults.
The
ear
should
be
soft,
glossy,
and
like
a
mouse's
coat
to
the
touch,
and
the
smaller
it
is
the
better.
It
should
have
no
long
coat
or
long
fringe,
but
there
is
often
a
silky,
silvery
coat
on
the
body
of
the
ear
and
the
tip.
Whatever
the
general
colour,
the
ears
should
be
black
or
dark-coloured.
NECK
AND
SHOULDERS--The
neck
should
be
long--that
is,
of
the
length
that
befits
the
Greyhound
character
of
the
dog.
