 Eyes soft and dark brown in color. Ears soft and hanging gracefully. Neck well

 ears, with prominent occiput, a decided brow over the eyes, with long muzzle. The 

 eyes should be dark brown in color, and are full of animation. Ears small, thin and 

 soft, carried close to the cheeks. The neck should be slightly arched, but must not be 

 throaty, chest deep and wide, tail should be carried with a gentle sweep downwards, 

 and well feathered with straight silky hair. The coat is soft and silky without curl, 

 and he should have plenty of feather on both fore and hind legs.
