rounded on the forehead ; muzzle very short (not underhung), and very wide. 

 The face should be wrinkled and nostrils black and full. Eyes large and lustrous ; 

 ears set high on the head and V-shaped, they should be moderate in size (the tips 

 never coming below the muzzle), and should be covered with long silky hair, 

 which extends much below the leather of the ear proper. 



Colour. These dogs should either be red, fawn, sable or brindle, with black 

 masks, face and ear shadings, or else all black. White patches on feet or chest, 

 although not a disqualification, should not be encouraged. 



Coat. Should be long, flat, and rather silky except at the frill, where it should 

 stand out like a lion's mane. The feathering on thighs and tail should be very 

 profuse, and it is preferable that it should be of a lighter colour than the rest of 

 Ihe coat.
