MUZZLE Long, tapering, sharp and muscular, as little stop as possible between the eyes, so as to form nearly a line from the nose-end along the joint of skull to the occiput. The lips close fitting and without flew. EYES Should be small and well sunk in the head. The blues should have a dark eye, the blues and tans ditto, with amber shades; livers and sandies, a light brown eye.
Captain Havelock, who dates only from 1881, has the reputation of being slightly 'black. The Neri and the Bianchi factions here represent the Buffs and Blues of a land further north.
