Dogs and All about Them

EARS--The
ears
must
be
long,
so
as
to
approach
the
ground.
In
an
average-sized
dog
they
measure
twenty
inches
from
tip
to
tip,
and
some
reach
twenty-two
inches,
or
even
a
trifle
more.
They
should
be
set
low
on
the
head,
hang
flat
to
the
sides
of
the
cheeks,
and
be
heavily
feathered.
In
this
last
respect
the
King
Charles
is
expected
to
exceed
the
Blenheim,
and
his
ears
occasionally
extend
to
twenty-four
inches.
SIZE--The
most
desirable
size
is
indicated
by
the
accepted
weight
of
from
7
lb.
to
10
lb.
SHAPE--In
compactness
of
shape
these
Spaniels
almost
rival
the
Pug,
but
the
length
of
coat
adds
greatly
to
the
apparent
bulk,
as
the
body,
when
the
coat
is
wetted,
looks
small
in
comparison
with
that
dog.
Still,
it
ought
to
be
decidedly
"cobby,"
with
strong,
stout
legs,
short
broad
back
and
wide
chest.
The
symmetry
of
the
King
Charles
is
of
importance,
but
it
is
seldom
that
there
is
any
defect
in
this
respect.
COAT--The
coat
should
be
long,
silky,
soft
and
wavy,
but
not
curly.
In
the
Blenheim
there
should
be
a
profuse
mane,
extending
well
down
in
the
front
of
the
chest.
The
feather
should
be
well
displayed
on
the
ears
and
feet,
and
in
the
latter
case
so
thickly
as
to
give
the
appearance
of
their
being
webbed.
It
is
also
carried
well
up
the
backs
of
the
legs.
