A dog showing much hound character, but is smaller and lighter in muzzle
and bone than the English Bloodhound. The skull should be rounded
crossways with the occiput slightly prominent. The eyes are piercing
with hound expression and hazel in color. The ears should reach to end
of muzzle and as much longer as possible; they are thin, covered with a
soft silky coat, and low set. The neck should be clean and of good
length without throatiness. Back broad, strong and short and hind
quarters very strong and muscular. The stern is not very strong in bone
at the root and of medium length. The coat is not rough, nor so fine as
to be silky, wiry or shaggy.
