of the skull.

EARS:
Set high, small and thin; the front inner edge of each ear

of the outer ear is partly visible. Folding ear means the ear is tilting
forward when the dog is attentive so that the tip of the ear is more

ear is placed closely at the sides of the head. All other ear forms are
to be regarded as fault.
