430 The Management and Diseases of the Dog. 
Eyes.—The eyes (seen from the front) should be situated low 
down in the skull as far from the ears as possible. Their corners 
should be in a straight line at right angles with the stop, and 
quite in front of the head. They should be as wide apart as 
possible, provided their outer corners are within the outline of 
the cheeks. They should be quite round in shape, of moderate - 
size, neither sunken nor prominent, and in colour should be as 
dark as possible, showing no white when looking directly forward. 
Ears.—The ears should be set on high, z.¢., the front inner 
edge of each ear should (as viewed from the front) join the 
outline of the skull at the top corner of such outline, so as to 
place them as wide apart and as high and far from the eyes as 
possible. In size they should be small and thin. The shape 
termed “rose ear” is the most correct. The “rose ear” folds 
inwards at its back, the upper or front edge curving over outwards 
and backwards, showing part of the inside of the burr. 
Face.—The face, measured from the front of the cheek bone 
to the nose, should be as short as possible ; its skin should be 
deeply and closely wrinkled. The muzzle should be short, broad, 
square, not pointed, turned upwards, and very deep from the 
corner of the eye to the corner of the mouth. The nose should 
be large, broad, and black; its top should be deep set back, 
almost between the eyes. The distance from the inner corner of 
the eye (or from the centre of the stop between the eyes) to the 
extreme tip of the nose should not exceed the length from the 
tip of the nose to the edge of the under lip. The nostrils should 
be large, wide, and black, with a well-defined, straight line between 
them. \ 
Chop.—The flews, called the ‘‘ chop,” should be thick, broad, 
pendant, and very deep, hanging completely over the lower jaw 
at the sides (not in front). They should join the-under lip in 
front and quite cover the teeth, which should not be seen when 
the mouth is closed. 
Mouth.—The jaws, more especially the lower, should be broad, 
massive, and square, not in any way pinched or pointed, the 
canine teeth, or tusks, wide apart. The lower jaw should project 
considerably in front of the upper, and turn up. It should be 
wery broad and square, and have the six small front teeth
