This dog is known as the "Saintly" breed and may by his size, magnificent appear- 

 ance, beautiful temper and docility be justly regarded as one of the finest examples and 

 most noble members of the canine species. 1 he head is large and massive, short and 

 square in the muzzle, with great depth from eye to lower jaw. The eyes are rather 

 small, deeply set and dark in color, the lower eyelid drooping, showing the haw. His 

 expression should betoken benevolence, dignity and intelligence. Ears of medium size 

 and not heavily feathered. Chest wide and deep with level back, well rounded ribs, and 

 very muscular loins. He should be strong and straight on his legs. The tail is long 

 and bushy, carried low when in repose. There are two varieties as regards coat : A. 

 In the long-coated variety it should be dense and flat, rather fuller around the neck, 

 with the thighs well feathered; B. In the short-coated variety, it should be close and 

 hound-like and only slightly feathered on thighs and tail.
