Head.—Long and narrow, fairly large between the ears, well filled out before the eyes, little or no stop, jaws lean, and eyes bright and tolerably full. Ears small and folding down when at rest, but raised when animated. Teeth must be strong, and mouth level.
Neck.—A trifle arched, and sufficiently long to enable the dog to easily pick up a hare when in full stride.
Shoulders.—Placed as obliquely as possible.
Chest.—Fairly deep, and sufficiently wide to give free action to the heart and lungs.
Fore Legs.—Straight, of good bone, and length from elbow to knee twice that from knee to ground.
Feet.—The cat-foot is considered best.
Loins.—Strong, but not too broad; back powerful and somewhat arched.
Hind Quarters.—Very muscular; stifles strong and well bent; hocks well let down.
