 THE ABRUZZES

A large and coarse 

 dog. The head is fair- 

 ly long, somewhat 

 broad in skull, slight- 

 ly domed, and with- 

 out stop. The eyes 

 are small and dark in 

 color ; ears of medium 

 size and carried close 

 to the head. Body 

 strong and well built, 

 with well developed 

 and muscular loins. 

 The tail is long, well 



coated, generally carried low, but sometimes over the back. His coat is dense and long, 

 especially around the neck, on the back and on the tail. The skull, muzzle, ears and 

 forepart of the legs are smooth coated. A curly coat is a serious fault.
