Markings.—Clearly defined. The muzzle or mask, ears, moles 
on cheeks, thumb-marks or diamond on. forehead, back-trace, 
should be as black as possible. 
Mask.—The mask should be black. The more intense and 
well-defined it is the better. 
Wrinkles Large and deep. 
Trace.—A black line extending from the occiput to the tail. 
Tai/.—Curled as tightly as possible over the hip. The double 
curl is perfection. 
Coat.—Fine, smooth, soft, short and glossy, neither hard nor 
woolly. 
Colour.—Silver or apricot fawn. Each should be decided, to 
make the contrast complete between the colour and the trace 
and the mask. ;
