In general appearance the German Setter is a strong, shapely dog, not
too heavy in build. The head is rather long, skull slightly rounded,
lips pendulous. Eyes are of medium size, oval in shape, dark brown in
color, varying in shade with that of the coat. The body should be
straight, broad and muscular, with neck slightly arched but not throaty;
chest deep but not too broad. The stern should be of medium length,
strong at the root and tapering near the point, carried straight to the
middle with the end curled upward and well feathered.
