The lips are black and are tight, with little or no fullness. A full complement of strong, white teeth meet in a scissors bite, with the inner side of the upper incisors touching the outer side of the lower incisors. A level bite is acceptable. The medium-size eyes are oval in shape. Acceptable eye colors include variations of brown, which are in harmony with coat color.
Dark eyes do enhance expression, but true black eyes are undesirable.
The black nose is fully pigmented. The firm, medium-size ears are erect, tapering slightly to a rounded point. They are mobile, reacting sensitively to sounds. Ideally, an equilateral triangle is formed when a line is drawn from the nose tip, through the eyes, to the ear tips and across. Button, rose or drop ears.
