The
Secretary
of
the
Irish
Setter
Club
is
Mr.
S.
Brown,
27,
Eustace
Street,
Dublin,
and
the
standard
of
points
as
laid
down
by
that
authority
is
as
follows:--
HEAD--The
head
should
be
long
and
lean.
The
skull
oval
(from
ear
to
ear),
having
plenty
of
brain
room,
and
with
well-defined
occipital
protuberance.
Brows
raised,
showing
stop.
The
muzzle
moderately
deep
and
fairly
square
at
the
end.
From
the
stop
to
the
point
of
the
nose
should
be
fairly
long,
the
nostrils
wide,
and
the
jaws
of
nearly
equal
length;
flews
not
to
be
pendulous.
The
colour
of
the
nose
dark
mahogany
or
dark
walnut,
and
that
of
the
eyes
(which
ought
not
to
be
too
large)
rich
hazel
or
brown.
The
ears
to
be
of
moderate
size,
fine
in
texture,
set
on
low,
well
back,
and
hanging
in
a
neat
fold
close
to
the
head.
NECK--The
neck
should
be
moderately
long,
very
muscular,
but
not
too
thick;
slightly
arched,
free
from
all
tendency
to
throatiness.
BODY--The
body
should
be
long.
Shoulders
fine
at
the
points,
deep
and
sloping
well
back.
The
chest
as
deep
as
possible,
rather
narrow
in
front.
The
ribs
well
sprung,
leaving
plenty
of
lung
room.
Loins
muscular
and
slightly
arched.
The
hind-quarters
wide
and
powerful.
LEGS
AND
FEET--The
hind-legs
from
hip
to
hock
should
be
long
and
muscular;
from
hock
to
heel
short
and
strong.
The
stifle
and
hock
joints
well
bent,
and
not
inclined
either
in
or
out.
The
fore-legs
should
be
straight
and
sinewy,
having
plenty
of
bone,
with
elbows
free,
well
let
down,
and,
like
the
hocks,
not
inclined
either
in
or
out.
