 idea of high spirits and animation. The ears are set well back on the head, small and 

 folding when at rest, but raised when in action. The neck is fairly long, arched and 

 very flexible. The shoulders should be as oblique as possible. Chest wide and. deep, back- 

 powerful and arched, loins strong, broad and deep, and the hind legs very muscular, 

 somewhat long, the stifles strong and well bent, and very muscular thighs. The tail is 

 long, fine and nicely curved. A terse description of this dog is contained in the 

 following couplet : 



The head of a snake, 

 The neck of a drake, 



A back like a beam, 

 A side like a bream, 



The tail of a rat, 

 And the foot of a cat.
