CHEEKS
- The cheeks should be well rounded, protruding sideways and outward heyond the eyes.
STOP - The temples or frontal bones should be very well defined, broad, square and high,
causing a hollow or groove between the eyes. This indentation, or stop, should be both
broad and deep and extend up the middle of the forehead, dividing the head vertically,
being traceable to the top of the skull.
Indentation in skull, called "the furrow" extends from
between the eyes to top of head. Not to be obscured by forehead wrinkles.
PROPER HEAD
FACE & MUZZLE - The face, measured from the front of the cheekbone to the tip
of the nose, should be extremely short, the muzzle being very short, broad, turned upward
and very deep from the corner of the eye to the corner of the mouth.
| Muzzle very full and
turned upwards |
NOSE - The nose should be large,
broad and black, its tip set back deeply between the eyes. The distance from bottom of
stop, between the eyes, to the tip of nose should be as short as possible and not exceed
the length from the tip of nose to the edge of underlip. The nostrils should be wide,
large and black, with a well defined line between them. Any nose other than black is
objectionable and a brown or liver-colored nose shall disqualify.
| Front of nose slants back
closely following contour of head. Not perpendicular. Large, black, wide nostrils. In the
scale of points, the nose has 6, more than any other feature. |
LIPS - The chops or
"flews" should be thick, broad, pendant and very deep, completely overhanging
the lower Jaw at each side. They join the underlip in front and almost or quite cover the
teeth, which should be scarcely noticeable, when the mouth is closed.
