According to the AKC Standard:
Head
To attain a well proportioned head, which must be in
balance with the rest of the dog, it embodies the
following:
- Expression--The expression is intelligent, alert,
soft and appealing. - Eyes--Eyeballs are round and full and look
directly forward. The shape of the eye rims gives
a slightly almond shaped appearance; the eye is
not weak or goggled. The color of the iris is dark
brown and in general the darker the better. *Here
again Merles are discriminated against* - Ears--Lobular, long, of fine leather, well
feathered, and placed no higher than a line to the
lower part of the eye. - Skull--Rounded but not exaggerated with no
tendency toward flatness; the eyebrows are
clearly defined with a pronounced stop. The bony
structure beneath the eyes is well chiseled with
no prominence in the cheeks. - The muzzle is broad and deep, with square even
jaws. To be in correct balance, the distance from
the stop to the tip of the nose is one half the
distance from the stop up over the crown to the
base of the skull. - Nose--of sufficient size to balance the muzzle and
foreface, with well developed nostrils typical of a
sporting dog.
- It is black in color in the blacks, black and
tans, and black and whites; in other colors
it may be brown, liver or black, the darker
the better. The color of nose harmonizes
with the color of the eye rim. *Here it is
implied that any pink non pigmented
areas of the nose are not desired~ again
a discrimination against merles and also
some partis.
- Lips--The upper lip is full and of sufficient depth
to cover the lower jaw. - Teeth--Teeth strong and sound, not too small
and meet in a scissors bite.
