Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton

The
jaws
level
and
powerful,
and
teeth
square
or
evenly
met,
well
set,
and
large
for
the
size
of
the
dog.
The
nose
and
roof
of
mouth
should
be
distinctly
black
in
colour.
EARS--Small,
carried
erect
or
semi-erect,
but
never
drop,
and
should
be
carried
tightly
up.
The
semi-erect
ear
should
drop
nicely
over
at
the
tips,
the
break
being
about
three-quarters
up
the
ear,
and
both
forms
of
ears
should
terminate
in
a
sharp
point.
The
hair
on
them
should
be
short,
smooth
(velvety),
and
they
should
not
be
cut.
The
ears
should
be
free
from
any
fringe
at
the
top.
Round,
pointed,
broad
and
large
ears
are
very
objectionable,
also
ears
too
heavily
covered
with
hair.
NECK--Muscular,
and
nicely
set
on
sloping
shoulders.
CHEST--Very
deep,
with
breadth
in
proportion
to
the
size
of
the
dog.
BODY--Compact,
straight
back,
ribs
deep
and
well
arched
in
the
upper
half
of
rib,
presenting
a
flattish
side
appearance.
Loins
broad
and
strong.
Hind-quarters
strong,
muscular,
and
wide
across
the
top.
LEGS
AND
FEET--Both
fore
and
hind
legs
should
be
short
and
muscular.
The
shoulder
blades
should
be
comparatively
broad,
and
well-sloped
backwards.
The
points
of
the
shoulder
blades
should
be
closely
knit
into
the
backbone,
so
that
very
little
movement
of
them
should
be
noticeable
when
the
dog
is
walking.
The
elbow
should
be
close
in
to
the
body
both
when
moving
or
standing,
thus
causing
the
fore-leg
to
be
well
placed
in
under
the
shoulder.
