The nasal bone rising to a degree from the nose to the forehead you will find this more noticeable in the males, but it should never possess a definite stop, but when seen from the side view it will have a defined stop due to the placement of the eyebrows. The lips fall away almost plumb from the nose which should protrude slightly, and then continue in a slight curve to the corner of the mouth. Jaws strong and moderately long, as to enable the dog to pick up and carry Quarry. The nose itself should be from Black to shades of Brown but always to compliment coat colour, broad nostrils, well open and soft. Their eyes should be gentle and intelligent with an expression that just melts your heart, they should be of medium size and in proportion to the head, and eyelids must close properly.
Light eyes are most undsesirable, as they spoil that lovely melting expression.
I have found that eyes may be light in young dogs but darken as they get older, but if they are say still light by the age of 2yrs then they will probably stay that way. Now to the ears they should be set high and wide at the top and rounded at the bottom, they should hang closely to the head, they must not be too fleshy or to thin, but have a short soft coat, and nearly reach the corner ofthe mouth when moved forward. The mouth of this dog should have good strong jaws and a full denture of teeth with a correct scissor bite ie upperteeth closely overlapping lower teeth and set square to the jaws, overshot and undershot mouths or wry jaws being most undesirable, but the first two faults would not stop it making a good pet, as for the latter it would depend on the serverity. The neck should be muscular and slighty arched, modererately long and widening to the shoulders, skin should not fit too loosely or it gives the dog a throaty appearance. Now to the front propulsion, the forequarters, the shoulders should be sloping and very muscular, the top of the shoulder blades to fit closely.
