Head Colour

Head The Muzzle should be dark in colour, Spectacles and shading as previously described are breed
characteristic’s and must be present to some degree. Ears should be very dark—almost black and velvety soft to the
touch.

The overall muzzle colour should be dark, usually darker in puppies than in adults. It is rare that muzzles are sold black
in colour, except in puppies, Ears, like muzzles, are seldom solid black. The tips of the hair on the ears should be
black and should give the overall ear a dark colour.
A Natural untrimmed ear should be velvety to the touch. A trimmed ear has a coarser feel.

While a very dark-faced dog is also correct, there MUST be some Natural shading of Light so that the Spectacles of the
breed are present. Conversely, a light-coloured head is also correct if the spectacles have enough dark colouration
visible.
