With its jet black, gleaming coat, gold to copper eyes, solid body and sweet facial expression, the ideal Bombay has an unmistakable look of its own. The face should be full with considerable breadth between the eyes, blending gently into a broad well-developed moderately rounded muzzle that maintains the rounded contours of the head. The end of the nose is slightly rounded down thus completing the roundness of the head.
Allowance is to be made for larger size in males.
Toes, five in front, four in back. Lockets or spots. Incorrect number of toes. Nose leather or paw pads other than black. Extreme break that interferes with normal breathing and tearing of eyes.
