General Appearance
An elegant, substantial and symmetrical gun dog suggesting the ideal blend of strength, stamina, grace, and style. Flat-coated with feathering of good length. Gaiting freely and smoothly with long forward reach, strong rear drive and firm topline. Males decidedly masculine without coarseness. Females decidedly feminine without over-refinement. Overall appearance, balance, gait, and purpose to be given more emphasis than any component part. Above all, extremes of anything distort type and must be faulted.

Head
Size and proportion in harmony with body. Long and lean with a well defined stop. When viewed from the side, head planes (top of muzzle, top of skull and bottom of lower jaw) are parallel.

Skull- oval when viewed from above, of medium width, without coarseness,
and only slightly wider at the earset than at the brow. Moderately
defined occipital protuberance. Length of skull from occiput to stop
equal in length of muzzle.
Muzzle-long and square when viewed from the side, of good depth with flews
squared and fairly pendant. Width in harmony with width of skull and
equal at nose and stop. Level from eyes to tip of nose.
Nose-black or dark brown, fully pigmented. Nostrils wide apart and large.
