 rounded crossways with the occiput slightly 

 prominent. The eyes are piercing with hound 

 expression and hazel in color. The ears should 

 reach to end of muzzle and as much longer as 

 possible ; they are thin, covered with a soft

 clean and of good length without throatiness. 

 Back broad, strong and short and hind quar-
