124 Horse and Hound. 



Color and coat (value 5). Black, white, and 

 tan are preferable, though the solids and various 

 pies are permissible; coat should be rough and 

 coarse without being wiry or shaggy. 



Symmetry (value 5) . The form of the hound 

 should be harmonious throughout. He should 

 show his blood quality and hound character in 

 every aspect and movement. If he scores high in 

 other properties, symmetry is bound to follow. 



The stern (value 5) must be strong in bone 

 at the root, of medium length, carried like a saber 

 on line with spine, and must have good brush — a 

 docked stern should not disqualify, but simply 

 handicap according to extent of docking.
