Lips fit fairly tightly, forming a gentle curve in profile, with no heaviness in flews. The correct bite is tight scissors, full dentition is required. Jaws are strong enough to carry a size able bird, and softness in mouth is essential. Set well apart, almond shaped, medium sized. Color amber to brown.
Expression is friendly, alert and intelligent.
Flesh around eyes should be the same color as the lips. Shoulders should be muscular with the blade well laid back and well laid on, giving good withers sloping into short back. The blade and upper arm are roughly equal in length. Elbows should be close to the body turning neither in nor out, working cleanly and evenly. The forelegs should appear as parallel columns straight and strong in bone.
