Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton
160
HEAD--Should
be
wide
from
ear
to
ear,
long
and
slanting
from
the
top
of
the
skull
to
the
setting
on
of
the
nose;
cheek
bones
prominent;
ears
set
low
and
thin
in
texture,
soft
and
velvety;
nose
broad
at
the
base;
mouth
large
and
jaws
level.
NECK--The
neck
should
be
very
strong,
but
long
and
slightly
arched,
meeting
shoulders
well
knit
into
the
back,
which
should
be
straight
and
joining
a
wide
loin.
There
should
be
great
depth
of
heart
room,
very
deep
brisket,
narrow
chest
rather
than
otherwise,
shoulders
long
and
slanting.
LEGS
AND
FEET--Should
be
as
nearly
like
the
Foxhound's
as
possible.
There
should
be
really
no
difference,
as
they
must
be
straight,
the
knees
big,
and
the
bone
should
be
of
goodly
size
down
to
the
toes,
and
the
feet
should
be
very
round
and
cat-shaped.
HIND-QUARTERS--A
great
feature
in
the
Pointer
is
his
hind-quarters.
He
cannot
well
be
too
long
in
the
haunch
or
strong
in
the
stifle,
which
should
be
well
bent,
and
the
muscles
in
the
second
thigh
of
a
good
Pointer
are
always
remarkable.
The
hocks
may
be
straighter
than
even
in
a
Foxhound,
as,
in
pulling
up
sharp
on
his
point,
he
in
a
great
measure
throws
his
weight
on
them;
the
shank
bones
below
the
hock
should
be
short.
COLOUR--There
have
been
good
ones
of
all
colours.
The
Derby
colours
were
always
liver
and
whites
for
their
Pointers
and
black
breasted
reds
for
their
game-cocks.
