Eyes.—Small, hazel in colour, deeply sunk, and should show a great deal of "haw," i.e., the membrana nictitans, or third eyelid. These features are very characteristic of the Bloodhound.
Long ears, thin, soft to the feel, set on low down, hanging close to cheeks, and meeting, when pulled together, over the nose.
The facial expression ought to appear quick and penetrating.
2. Legs and Feet.—There must be plenty of bone and muscle here; strong knees; straight and round well-formed, cat-like feet.
3. Chest and Shoulders.—Width and fair depth are desirable, the shoulder being very strong, the arm also strong.
4. Neck.—A long neck is essential, and the dewlap should be well developed.
5. Ribs, Back and Loin.—Well-sprung ribs, with a wide back, of moderate length, and strong loins.
6. Hind-quarters and Limbs.—There should not be much more than skin, bone, and muscle in these regions. The hocks are strong and coarse. Must not be cow-hocked.
7. Tail.—Gay carriage as in other Hounds. At rest tail is down.
