Focus On The Standard...
Head, Skull and Muzzle
The head should be long, strong deep, right
to the end of the muzzle, but not coarse. The full face should be an oval in
outline and be filled completely up giving the impression of fullness with a
surface devoid of hollows or indentations, i.e., egg shaped.
The profile should curve gently downwards
from the top of the skull to the tip of the nose. The forehead should be
flat across from ear to ear.
The head being the hallmark of the breed, to
resemble an egg in shape. In observing the head in profile it is important
to look for a gentle curve downwards, no apparent stop. The full face of the
dog should be oval in appearance. There should be no evidence of any
indentations chiseling or stop. Nor should the head appear "Cheeky," the
sides should be smooth. A well filled oval or complete egg. The muzzle
should be deep and broad, not snipy. |
