13. Tail.—6 ins. or 7 ins. long, covered with hard hair (no feather), as straight as possible, carried gaily, but not curled over back. A long tail is objectionable.

14. Movement.—Should be free, straight, and easy all round. In front, the leg should be freely extended forward by the shoulder. The hind movement should be free, strong, and close. The hocks should be freely flexed and drawn close in under the body, so that, when moving off the foot, the body is thrown or pushed forward with some force. Stiff, stilty movement behind is very objectionable.

Faults.

1. Coat.—Any silkiness, wave, or tendency to curl is a serious blemish, as is also an open coat.

2. Size.—Any specimens under the minimum weight, or above the maximum weight, are objectionable.

3. Eyes.—Full or light-coloured.

4. Ears.—Round-pointed, drop, broad, and large ears, also ears too heavily covered with hair.

5. Muzzle.—Either under, or overshot and defective teeth.
