Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton

Length
of
ear,
from
three
to
four
inches.
NECK--Very
muscular,
well
developed,
and
strong;
showing
great
power
of
resistance,
being
well
set
into
the
shoulders.
BODY--Long,
strong,
and
flexible;
ribs
well
sprung
and
round,
chest
well
developed
and
let
well
down
between
the
fore-legs;
the
back
rather
low
at
the
shoulder,
having
a
slight
downward
curve
and
a
corresponding
arch
over
the
loins,
with
a
very
slight
gradual
drop
from
top
of
loins
to
root
of
tail;
both
sides
of
backbone
well
supplied
with
muscle.
TAIL--Rather
short,
say
from
eight
inches
to
ten
inches,
and
covered
on
the
upper
side
with
wiry
hair
of
darker
colour
than
that
of
the
body,
the
hair
on
the
under
side
being
lighter
in
colour,
and
not
so
wiry,
with
a
nice
feather,
about
two
inches
long,
getting
shorter
as
it
nears
the
tip;
rather
thick
at
the
root,
getting
thicker
for
about
four
inches,
then
tapering
off
to
a
point.
It
should
not
be
twisted
or
curled
in
any
way,
but
should
come
up
with
a
curve
like
a
scimitar,
the
tip,
when
excited,
being
in
a
perpendicular
line
with
the
root
of
the
tail.
It
should
neither
be
set
on
too
high
nor
too
low.
When
not
excited
it
is
carried
gaily,
and
a
little
above
the
level
of
the
body.
LEGS--The
fore-legs
short,
with
immense
muscular
development
and
bone,
set
wide
apart,
the
chest
coming
well
down
between
them.
