Modern Dogs. 



General Appearance. A lithe active dog, with no useless 

 timber about him, his deep chest showing strength, his sloping 

 shoulders, and well-bent hocks speed, and his "bawsint" face 

 high intelligence. The face should bear a sharp, doubtful 

 expression. As a whole, he should present an elegant and 

 pleasing outline, quite distinct from any of our other domesticated 

 breeds, and show great strength and activity. 



Faults. Domed skull, high peaked occipital bone, heavy 

 pendulous ears, full soft eyes, heavy feathered legs, short tail.
