Dogs and All about Them

UNDERLINE--The
underline
of
the
head,
viewed
in
profile,
runs
almost
in
a
straight
line
from
the
corner
of
the
lip
to
the
corner
of
the
jawbone,
allowing
for
the
fold
of
the
lip,
but
with
no
loose
skin
to
hang
down.
JAW--The
lower
jaw
should
be
about
level,
or
at
any
rate
not
project
more
than
the
sixteenth
of
an
inch.
NOSE
AND
NOSTRILS--The
bridge
of
the
nose
should
be
very
wide,
with
a
slight
ridge
where
the
cartilage
joins
the
bone.
(This
is
quite
a
characteristic
of
the
breed.)
The
nostrils
should
be
large,
wide,
and
open,
giving
a
blunt
look
to
the
nose.
A
butterfly
or
flesh-coloured
nose
is
not
objected
to
in
harlequins.
EARS--The
ears
should
be
small,
set
high
on
the
skull,
and
carried
slightly
erect,
with
the
tips
falling
forward.
NECK--Next
to
the
head,
the
neck
is
one
of
the
chief
characteristics.
It
should
be
long,
well
arched,
and
quite
clean
and
free
from
loose
skin,
held
well
up,
snakelike
in
carriage,
well
set
in
the
shoulders,
and
the
junction
of
head
and
neck
well
defined.
SHOULDERS--The
shoulders
should
be
muscular
but
not
loaded,
and
well
sloped
back,
with
the
elbows
well
under
the
body,
so
that,
when
viewed
in
front,
the
dog
does
not
stand
too
wide.
FORE-LEGS
AND
FEET--The
fore-legs
should
be
perfectly
straight,
with
big
flat
bone.
The
feet
large
and
round,
the
toes
well
arched
and
close,
the
nails
strong
and
curved.
