This is probably the most fashionable pet dog now in vogue. His
character is full of dignity and consummate pride, and disgust for
anything menial or common. His head is massive, broad, wide and flat
between the ears and eyes. The eyes should be large, dark, prominent,
round and lustrous. “Stop” deep. Ears heart-shaped, drooping and well
feathered. Muzzle very short, broad and wrinkled. He has a heavy-fronted
body and light hind quarters, and the great coat on the frill and neck
give him a lion-like appearance. The coat should be long, straight and
flat, with dense undercoat and well feathered on thighs, legs, tail and
toes.
