ISO Modern Dogs, 



Others vary from twelve to sixteen inches, but 

 when we reach the latter height, there is a near 

 approach to the harrier, and so to the foxhound; the 

 cross with the latter having been made with the idea 

 of improving the legs and feet of the smaller hound, 

 a change of blood that naturally has a tendency to 

 do away with type. 



The following scale of points and description of the 

 beagle has recently been issued by the club which 

 looks after its interests : 



Head of fair length, powerful without being coarse, 

 skull domed moderately wide with an indication of 

 peak, stop well defined, muzzle not snipey, and 

 lips well flewed. 



Nose black, broad, and nostrils well expanded. 



Eyes brown, dark hazel or hazel, not deep set 

 or bulgy, and with a mild expression.

 in a graceful fold close to the cheek.

 showing some dewlap.
