Modern Dogs. 



'^ Fore-face. — The fore-face is long, deep, and of 

 even width throughout, with square outline when 

 seen in profile. 



'^ Eyes. — The eyes are deeply sunk in the orbits, 

 the lids assuming a lozenge or diamond shape, in 

 consequence of the lower lids being dragged down 



and everted by the heavy flews. The eyes 

 correspond with the general tone of colour of the 

 animal, varying from deep hazel to yellow. The 

 hazel colour is, however, to be preferred, although 

 very seldom seen in red-and-tan hounds. 



'^ Ears. — The ears are thin and soft to the touch, 

 extremely long, set very low, and fall in graceful folds, 

 the lower parts curling inwards and backwards.
