Dogs and All about Them

An
over-long
neck
is
not
necessary,
nor
desirable,
for
the
dog
is
not
required
to
stoop
in
his
work
like
a
Greyhound,
and
it
must
be
remembered
that
the
mane,
which
every
good
specimen
should
have,
detracts
from
the
apparent
length
of
neck.
Moreover,
a
Deerhound
requires
a
very
strong
neck
to
hold
a
stag.
The
nape
of
the
neck
should
be
very
prominent
where
the
head
is
set
on,
and
the
throat
should
be
clean-cut
at
the
angle
and
prominent.
The
shoulders
should
be
well
sloped,
the
blades
well
back,
with
not
too
much
width
between
them.
Loaded
and
straight
shoulders
are
very
bad
faults.
STERN--Stern
should
be
tolerably
long,
tapering,
and
reaching
to
within
1-1/2
inches
of
the
ground,
and
about
1-1/2
inches
below
the
hocks.
When
the
dog
is
still,
dropped
perfectly
straight
down,
or
curved.
When
in
motion
it
should
be
curved
when
excited,
in
no
case
to
be
lifted
out
of
the
line
of
the
back.
It
should
be
well
covered
with
hair,
on
the
inside
thick
and
wiry,
underside
longer,
and
towards
the
end
a
slight
fringe
is
not
objectionable.
A
curl
or
ring
tail
is
very
undesirable.
EYES--The
eyes
should
be
dark:
generally
they
are
dark
brown
or
hazel.
A
very
light
eye
is
not
liked.
The
eye
is
moderately
full
with
a
soft
look
in
repose,
but
a
keen,
far-away
gaze
when
the
dog
is
roused.
The
rims
of
the
eyelids
should
be
black.
