 to the latter. 



Markings. Clearly defined. The muzzle or mask, ears, 

 moles on cheeks; thumb-mark, or diamond on forehead;

 and well-defined it is the better.

 tail. 



Tail. Curled tightly as possible over the hip. The 

 double curl is perfection.

@olor. Silver or apricot fawn. Each should be decided, 

 to make the contrast complete between the color and the 

 trace and mask.
