Dogs and All about Them
·
Robert Leighton

BODY--The
body
is
very
deep,
with
ribs
well
sprung
and
belly
well
drawn
up.
BACK
AND
LOINS--The
back
and
loins
are
strong,
the
latter
slightly
arched,
as
in
the
Greyhound.
HIND-QUARTERS--The
hind-quarters
and
thighs
are
extremely
muscular,
giving
the
idea
of
great
strength
and
galloping
power.
The
second
thigh
is
long
and
well
developed
as
in
a
Greyhound,
and
the
hocks
set
low,
turning
neither
out
nor
in.
TAIL--The
tail
is
strong
at
the
root
and
ends
in
a
fine
point,
reaching
to
or
just
below
the
hocks.
It
should
be
carried,
when
the
dog
is
in
action,
in
a
straight
line
level
with
the
back,
slightly
curved
towards
the
end,
but
should
not
curl
over
the
back.
COAT--The
hair
is
short
and
dense,
and
sleek-looking,
and
in
no
case
should
it
incline
to
coarseness.
GAIT
OR
ACTION--The
gait
should
be
lithe,
springy,
and
free,
the
action
high.
The
hocks
should
move
very
freely,
and
the
head
should
be
held
well
up.
COLOUR--The
colours
are
brindle,
fawn,
blue,
black,
and
harlequin.
The
harlequin
should
have
jet
black
patches
and
spots
on
a
pure
white
ground;
grey
patches
are
admissible
but
not
desired;
but
fawn
or
brindle
shades
are
objectionable.
