Skull flat, moderately wide between the ears and gradually tapering to the eyes. There should be a very slight elevation of the eyebrows and very little stop.<br \/><br \/><strong>Muzzle:<\/strong>\u00a0of fair length, tapering to the nose, which, whatever the colour of the dog, should be black. The teeth which are white and of goof size, should not be over nor undershot. Both are faults, the latter the greater of the two.<br \/><br \/><strong>Eyes:<\/strong>\u00a0of fair size, but not prominent, are placed rather closed together and set obliquely in the head, which gives that cunning foxy expression so characteristic of the breed. Colour any shade of brown, the darker the better, yellow eyes being a great fault. Dogs of mirled colour should have a mirled or china eye and sometimes both eyes are of this colour.<br \/><br \/><strong>Ears:<\/strong>\u00a0small, placed rather close together at the of the head, covered with short soft hair and carried semi-erect when in attention; at other times thrown back and buried in the frill.<br \/><strong>Neck:<\/strong>\u00a0long, arched, muscular.<br \/><br \/><strong>Body:<\/strong>\u00a0rather long than short, ribs well rounded, chest deep and narrow in front, but of fair breadth behind the shoulders, which should be oblique. Loin rather long and slightly arched, showing power.<br \/><br \/><strong>Legs:<\/strong>\u00a0Forelegs straight and muscular, with a fair amount of flat bone, the forearm moderately fleshy, the hindlegs less fleshy, very sinewy and hocks well bent. Pasterns long and light in bone. Feet oval in shape, the soles well padded, and toes well arched and close.<br \/><br \/><strong>Tail:<\/strong>\u00a0moderately long, carried low when the dog is quiet, gaily when excited and almost straight out when running.<br \/><br \/><strong>Coat:<\/strong>\u00a0This is a very important point. The coat, except on the head and legs, should be abundant, the outer coat harsh to the touch, the inner coat soft and furry, and very close, so close, that it is difficult on parting the hair to see the skin. The hair very abundant round the neck and chest; this is termed the frill. The mask is smooth, the forelegs slightly feathered, the hindlegs below the hocks smooth. Hair on tail very profuse, and on the hips long and bushy.<br \/><br \/><strong>Colour:<\/strong>\u00a0Any colour.<br \/><br \/><strong>Size:<\/strong>\u00a0Dogs 21 in. to 24 in. at shoulder, Bitches 2 in. less.<br \/><br \/><strong>Weight:<\/strong>\u00a0Dogs 45 lb to 60 lb, Bitches 40 lb to 50 lb.<br \/><br \/><strong>General Appearance:<\/strong>\u00a0A lithe active dog, with no useless timber about him, his deep chest showing strength, his sloping shoulders, and well bent hocks speed. His \u201cbawsint\u201d face high intelligence. The face should bear a sharp, doubtful expression. As a whole, he should present an elegant and pleasing outline, quite distinct from any of our other domesticated breeds, and show great strength and activity. Faults: Domed skull, high peaked occipital bone, heavy pendulous ears, full soft eyes, heavily feathered legs, short tail.<br \/><br \/><strong>SCALE OF POINTS<\/strong><br \/>Head............................................15<br \/>Eyes...............................................5<br \/>Ears..............................................10<br \/>Neck and Shoulders.....................15<br \/>Body............................................10<br \/>Legs and Feet...............................15<br \/>Tail................................................5<br \/>Coat.............................................20<br \/>Size &amp; General Appearance..........10<br \/>GRAND TOTAL......................100<br \/><br \/><a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com\/scps-breed-standard-2016.html\"><span style=\"color: #3387a2;\">THE SCOTTISH COLLIE PRESERVATION SOCIETY'S STANDARD \u2013\u00a02016<\/span><\/a><br \/><strong><a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com\/the-scottish-collie-clubs-standard-1885.html\"><span style=\"color: #3387a2;\">THE SCOTTISH COLLIE CLUB'S STANDARD\u00a0\u2013\u00a01885<\/span><\/a><\/strong><br \/><a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com\/the-english-clubs-revised-standard-1898.html\"><span style=\"color: #3387a2;\">THE ENGLISH CLUBS\u00b4 REVISED STANDARD \u2013\u00a01898<\/span><\/a><br \/><a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com\/revised-rough-and-smooth-collie-standard-1910.html\"><span style=\"color: #3387a2;\">REVISED ROUGH AND SMOOTH COLLIE STANDARD \u2013\u00a01910<\/span><\/a><\/div>","pa_condition_repeater":[{"_id":"4506968"}]},"elements":[],"widgetType":"text-editor"},{"id":"bb3a6a3","elType":"widget","settings":{"space":{"unit":"px","size":76,"sizes":[]},"pa_condition_repeater":[{"_id":"65059c1"}]},"elements":[],"widgetType":"spacer"}],"isInner":false}],"isInner":false},{"id":"c5cc86e","elType":"section","settings":{"structure":"20","background_background":"classic","pa_condition_repeater":[{"_id":"90502c9"}]},"elements":[{"id":"9b94d59","elType":"column","settings":{"_column_size":50,"_inline_size":null,"pa_condition_repeater":[{"_id":"651bfad"}]},"elements":[],"isInner":false},{"id":"3afcbb8","elType":"column","settings":{"_column_size":50,"_inline_size":null,"pa_condition_repeater":[{"_id":"7936be4"}]},"elements":[],"isInner":false}],"isInner":false}]
