Eye — large, dark, and flashing, surrounded with 

 a naked white skin* extending from the base of 

 the comb round the ears and cheeks, meeting like 

 a cravat under the throat, and terminating in the 

 ear-lobes, which are exceedingly long and pendu- 

 lous. If this white face is very large and well 

 developed, it proves high breeding; the texture 

 of the skin cannot be too fine and smooth, and if 

 it is blushed or spotted with red, it is considered 

 faulty. 



Comh — single and large, beginning over the 

 nostril, and extending backwards, should stand 

 very erect, be regularly serrated, fine in the grain, 

 and of a rich vermillion colour. 



Wattles — very large, hanging a good way down 

 the neck, which is longer in this than in other 

 breeds. 



The hody should be as deep as possible, the 

 shanks and legs being naturally long, and depth 



* It is ths practice of exhibitors of Spanish to shave 

 the down of the edges of the white face, thus to enlarge 

 it and make it smooth. It is a disgraceful practice, and 

 not allowed at Birmingham Show.
