 about the head very loose, hanging in large wrinkles.

 as possible, provided their outer corners are within 

 the outline of the cheeks. They should be quite 

 round in shape, of moderate size, neither sunken nor 

 prominent, and in colour should be very dark 

 almost, if not quite black, showing no white when 

 looking directly forward.
