 also a high occipital protuberance. 



The jaws are long, but not so pointed as in the English terrier.

 fringed at the edges. 



The eyes are always of a light brown, varying in shade with 

 the colour of the coat. In sandy and liver- coated dogs the 

 brown is a light hazel, while in the blues it has a yellower 

 shade. In shape and size they are small, deeply sunk, and 

 placed close together, with the long axis of each in the same 

 line.
