Teeth with very strong wide base, generally fitting. Bite typical of Molosoid dogs. The absence of one or two premolars is not a fault, since the dog's function depends on its canines and incisors which should be well in line and well placed. Well marked pinkish grooves. 3.- Eyes Slightly oval.
Colour varies with coat from medium to very dark brown.
4.- Ears Hanging when complete. Medium sized, set high and wide apart. If, in accordance with tradition, they are cut, they stand erect or semi-erect and are triangular in shape. Full eared dogs compete on equal terms with others. 5.- Neck Round, straight, solid and highly muscled.
