·
Robert Leighton

HEAD--Should
be
large
for
size
of
animal,
very
broad
and
with
slightly
rounded
skull.
MUZZLE--Strong
and
wide;
very
short
from
eyes
to
nose;
upper
jaw
should
look
slightly
turned
up
between
the
eyes;
lower
jaw
should
be
also
turned
up
or
finished
so
as
to
meet
it,
but
should
the
lower
jaw
be
slightly
underhung
it
is
not
a
blemish
provided
the
teeth
are
not
shown
in
consequence.
NOSE--Very
short
in
the
muzzle
part.
The
end
or
nose
proper
should
be
wide,
with
open
nostrils,
and
must
be
the
colour
of
the
dog's
marking,
i.e.,
black
in
black-marked
dogs,
and
red
or
deep
flesh
colour
in
red
or
lemon
marked
dogs.
EYES--Large,
dark,
lustrous,
rather
prominent,
and
set
wide
apart.
EARS--Small
and
V-shaped,
nicely
feathered,
set
wide
apart
and
high
on
the
head
and
carried
slightly
forward.
NECK--Should
be
short
and
moderately
thick.
BODY--Very
compact
and
squarely
built,
with
a
short
back,
rather
wide
chest,
and
of
generally
"cobby"
shape.
The
body
and
legs
should
really
go
into
a
square,
i.e.,
the
length
of
the
dog
should
be
about
its
height.
LEGS--The
bones
of
the
legs
should
be
small,
giving
them
a
slender
appearance,
and
they
should
be
well
feathered.
FEET--Small
and
shaped,
somewhat
long;
the
dog
stands
up
on
its
toes
somewhat.
If
feathered,
the
tufts
should
never
increase
the
width
of
the
foot,
but
only
its
length
a
trifle.
TAIL--Carried
in
a
tight
curl
over
the
back.
It
should
be
profusely
feathered
so
as
to
give
the
appearance
of
a
beautiful
"plume"
on
the
animal's
back.
COAT--Profuse,
long,
straight,
rather
silky.
It
should
be
absolutely
free
from
wave
or
curl,
and
not
lie
too
flat,
but
have
a
tendency
to
stand
out,
especially
at
the
neck,
so
as
to
give
a
thick
mane
or
ruff,
which
with
profuse
feathering
on
thighs
and
tail
gives
a
very
showy
appearance.
COLOUR--Either
black
and
white
or
red
and
white,
i.e.,
parti-coloured.
The
term
red
includes
all
shades,
sable,
brindle,
lemon
or
orange,
but
the
brighter
and
clearer
the
red
the
better.
The
white
should
be
clear
white,
and
the
colour,
whether
black
or
red,
should
be
evenly
distributed
in
patches
over
the
body,
cheeks,
and
ears.
HEIGHT
AT
SHOULDER--About
ten
inches.
WEIGHT--The
size
desirable
is
from
4
lb.
to
9
lb.
The
smaller
size
is
preferable
if
good
shape.
