Colour of nose sometimes changes with age and weather. Lip lines should not have the appearance of being coarse nor should the flews drop predominantly at the corners of the mouth. The teeth should be strong, well-set, and snugly overlapping in a scissor bite. Overshot or undershot should be penalized. Round or protruding eyes penalized.
Blue eyes disqualify.
Ears should conform to head size and the size of the dog. Length of ear should be the same measurement as the distance from the inner base of the ear to the outer corner of the eye. Neck should blend in to shoulders with graceful arch. When moving at a trot, the neck is extended so that the head is carried slightly forward. The measurement from tip of shoulder blade to point of shoulder should equal measurement from point of shoulder to elbow.
