The muzzle is narrow. the chin and jaw are medium, the tip of the chin forming a vertical line with the tip of the nose. The eyes are medium in size, neither protruding nor recessed; almond in shape and set slightly slanted towards the nose to be in harmony with the lines of the wedge. The outline of the head and ears form an equilateral triangle when viewed from the front. |
