·

GENERAL
APPEARANCE--A
lady's
little
dog--intelligent,
sprightly,
robust,
of
compact
appearance--reminding
one
of
a
cob,
and
captivating
the
attention
by
a
quasi-human
expression.
HEAD--Rounded,
furnished
with
somewhat
hard,
irregular
hairs,
longer
round
the
eyes,
on
the
nose
and
cheeks.
EARS--Erect
when
cropped
as
in
Belgium,
semi-erect
when
uncropped.
EYES--Very
large,
black,
or
nearly
black;
eyelids
edged
with
black,
eyelashes
long
and
black,
eyebrows
covered
with
hairs,
leaving
the
eye
they
encircle
perfectly
uncovered.
NOSE--Always
black,
short,
surrounded
with
hair
converging
upward
to
meet
those
which
surround
the
eyes.
Very
pronounced
stop.
LIPS--Edged
with
black,
furnished
with
a
moustache.
A
little
black
in
the
moustache
is
not
a
fault.
CHIN--Prominent
without
showing
the
teeth,
and
edged
with
a
small
beard.
CHEST--Rather
wide
and
deep.

to
two-thirds.

Bruxellois,
red;

Belges,
preferably
black
and
tan,
but
also
grey
or

in
the

Brabancon,
red
or
black
and
tan.
TEXTURE
OF
COAT--Harsh
and
wiry,
irregular,
rather
long
and
thick.
In
the
Brabancon
it
is
smooth
and
short.
WEIGHT--Light
weight,
5
lb.
maximum;
and
heavy
weight,

faults
to

the
head,

nails,
teeth
showing,
a
hanging
tongue
or
a
brown
nose.
