194 Hounds 



inner rim of ear, on the breast, on the inside and 

 back of legs, under the tail, and from there down 

 one-third to one-half of the under-side of the tail. 

 Nose and nails black in black dogs, brown in brown 

 dogs, grey in grey dogs, and also flesh-colour. 



In one- and two-coloured dogs white is permissible, 

 but only to the smallest possible extent, as spot or 

 small streaks on breast. 



(c) Spotted: ground is a shining silver-grey, or 

 even white, with dark, irregular spots (large spots 

 are undesirable) of dark grey, brown, yellowish-red 

 or black. 



Neither the light nor the dark colours should pre- 

 dominate. The main factor is such a general appear- 

 ance that at some distance the dog shall show an 

 indefinite and varied colour which renders him par- 

 ticularly useful as a hunting dog. The russet-brown 

 marks are darker in darker spotted dogs, and yellower 

 in the lighter ones, and there may be an indication 

 of these in the case of a white foundation. Light 

 eyes are permitted; when the ground colour is white 

 a flesh-coloured or spotted nose is not a fault. White 

 marks are not desirable in dark dogs, but are not to 

 be regarded as faults which disqualify. 



Height at Shoulder. — y\ to 8|- inches. 



Coat. — Short, thick as possible, glossy, greasy 

 (not harsh and dry), equally covering entire body 

 (never showing bare spots).
