Dogs and All about Them
·

THE
BODY
should
be
strong,
with
well
sprung
ribs,
chest
deep,
fairly
broad
behind
the
shoulders,
which
should
be
sloped,
loins
very
powerful.
The
dog
should
be
straight
in
front.
THE
FORE-LEGS
should
be
straight
and
muscular,
neither
in
nor
out
at
elbows,
with
a
fair
amount
of
bone;
the
forearm
somewhat
fleshy,
the
pasterns
showing
flexibility
without
weakness.
THE
HIND-LEGS
should
be
muscular
at
the
thighs,
clean
and
sinewy
below
the
hocks,
with
well
bent
stifles.
THE
FEET
should
be
oval
in
shape,
soles
well
padded,
and
the
toes
arched
and
close
together.
The
hind
feet
less
arched,
the
hocks
well
let
down
and
powerful.
THE
BRUSH
should
be
moderately
long
carried
low
when
the
dog
is
quiet,
with
a
slight
upward
"swirl"
at
the
end,
and
may
be
gaily
carried
when
the
dog
is
excited,
but
not
over
the
back.
THE
COAT
should
be
very
dense,
the
outer
coat
harsh
to
the
touch,
the
inner
or
under
coat
soft,
furry,
and
very
close,
so
close
as
almost
to
hide
the
skin.
The
mane
and
frill
should
be
very
abundant,
the
mask
or
face
smooth,
as
also
the
ears
at
the
tips,
but
they
should
carry
more
hair
towards
the
base;
the
fore-legs
well
feathered,
the
hind-legs
above
the
hocks
profusely
so;
but
below
the
hocks
fairly
smooth,
although
all
heavily
coated
Collies
are
liable
to
grow
a
slight
feathering.
Hair
on
the
brush
very
profuse.
COLOUR
in
the
Collie
is
immaterial.
