A true sporting hound that covers a maximum of distance with a minimum of lost motion. Should convey an impression of beautifully balanced muscular power and strength, combined with great elegance and grace of outline. Symmetry of outline, muscular development and powerful gait are the main considerations; the dog being built for speed and work, all forms of exaggeration should be avoided. Size, Proportion, Substance Ideal height for dogs, 19 to 22 inches; for bitches, 18 to 21 inches, measured at the highest point of the withers. More than one-half inch above or below the stated limits will disqualify. Length from forechest to buttocks equal to or slightly greater than height at the withers. Moderate bone throughout. Head Keen intelligent alert expression. Eyes large and dark. Both eyes must be of the same color. Yellow or light eyes should be strictly penalized. Blue or wall eyes shall disqualify. Fully pigmented eyelids are desirable. Rose ears, small, fine in texture; in repose, thrown back and folded along neck, fold should be maintained when at attention. Erect ears should be severely penalized. Skull long and lean, fairly wide between ears, scarcely perceptible stop. Muzzle should be long and powerful denoting great strength of bite, without coarseness. Lack of underjaw should be strictly penalized. Nose entirely black. Teeth of upper jaw should fit closely over teeth of lower jaw, creating a scissors bite. Teeth should be white and strong. Undershot shall disqualify. Overshot one-quarter inch or more shall disqualify. Neck, Topline, and Body Neck long, clean and muscular, well arched with no suggestion of throatiness, widening gracefully into the top of the shoulder. A short thick neck, or a ewe neck, should be penalized. The back is broad, firm and well muscled, having length over the loin. The backline runs smoothly from the withers with a graceful natural arch, not too accentuated, beginning over the loin and carrying through over the croup; the arch is continuous without flatness. A dip behind shoulder blades, wheelback, flat back, or a steep or flat croup, should be penalized. Brisket very deep, reaching as nearly as possible to the point of the elbow. Ribs well spring, but with no suggestion of barrel shape. The space between the forelegs is filled in so that there is no appearance of a hollow between them. There is a definite tuckup of the underline. The tail long and tapering, reaching to the hipbone when drawn through between the hind legs. When the dog is in motion, the tail is carried low with only a gentle upward curve; tail should not be carried higher than the top of the back. Forequarters Shoulder blade long, well laid back, with flat muscles, allowing for moderate space between shoulder blades at peak of withers. Upper arm of equal length, placed so that the elbow falls directly under the withers. The points of the elbows should point neither in nor out, but straight back. A steep shoulder, short upper arm, a heavily muscled or loaded shoulder, or a very narrow shoulder, all of which restricts low free movement, should be strictly penalized. Forelegs straight, giving appearance of strength and substance of bone. Pasterns strong, slightly bent and flexible. Bowed legs, tied-in elbows, legs lacking substance, legs set far under the body so as to create an exaggerated forechest, weak or upright pasterns should be strictly penalized. Both front and rear feet must be well formed with hard, thick pads. Feet more hare than cat, but both are acceptable. Flat, splayed or soft feet without thick hard pads should be strictly penalized. Toes should be long, close and well arched. Nails strong and naturally short or of moderate length. Dewclaws may be removed. Hindquarters Long and powerful. The thighs are broad and muscular, stifles well bent; muscles are long and flat and carried well down toward the hock. The hocks are well let down and close to the ground. Sickle or cow hocks should be strictly penalized. Coat Short, close, smooth and firm in texture. Any other coat shall be a disqualification. Old scars and injuries, the result of work or accidents, should not be allowed to prejudice the dog's chances in the show ring. Color Color immaterial. Gait Low, free moving and smooth, with reach in the forequarters and strong drive in the hindquarters. The dog has great freedom of action when viewed from the side; the forelegs move forward close to the ground to give a long, low reach; the hind legs have strong propelling power. When moving and viewed from front or rear, legs should turn neither in nor out, nor should feet cross or interfere with each other. Lack of front reach or rear drive, or a short, hackney gait with high wrist action should be strictly penalized. Crossing in front or moving too closely should be strictly penalized. Temperament Amiable, friendly, gentle, but capable of great intensity during sporting pursuits. Disqualifications More than one-half inch above or below stated height limits Blue or wall eyes Undershot; overshot one-quarter inch or more Any coat other than short, close, smooth and firm in texture.

Dear Beth and Robyn, I am proud to announce that Gabby passed her temperament test for Support Dogs. She will begin her Therapy of Unique Canine Helpers (TOUCH) training in January. The test involves basic obedience commands, walking through crowds on a loose lead, walking over a grate, loud noises, ignoring cookies on the floor, having an umbrella and sheet flapped at them. Gabby went through the first part of the test with me then a ‘stranger’ takes her through the same test while I am out of the room. She breezed through the test. Please don’t think that this is a ‘piece of cake’ test. Fifty percent of the dogs fail, and you only get one chance to take the test. No do overs. It sounds like a WAC except no gun shot and no bad guy. Notori's Just One More Lap CD RE, NAJ, TDI, CGC Louie has been a very busy boy. He finished his Companion Dog title (CD) on October 22, 2006.
