China or wall eyes are to be disqualified. Ears too long or fleshy are to be faulted. The line to the forehead rises gradually and never has a definite stop as that of the Pointer, but rather a stop-effect when viewed from the side, due to the position of the eyebrows. Too many wrinkles in the forehead is a fault. The chops fall away from the somewhat projecting nose.
Lips are full and deep yet are never flewy.
Extreme overshot or undershot disqualifies. The skin is close and tight. Tuck-up is apparent. An excessively long, roached or swayed back must be penalized. A steep croup is a fault.
