Expression

Essentially scowling, dignified, lordly, discerning, sober and snobbish, one of independence.

The scowl is achieved:

*by a marked brow with a padded button of skin just above the inner, upper corner of each eye;

*by sufficient play of skin to form frowning brows and a distinct furrow between the eyes beginning at the base of the muzzle and extending up the forehead;

*by the correct eye shape and placement, and

*by the correct ear shape, carriage and
placement.

Excessive loose skin is not desirable. Wrinkles on the muzzle do not contribute to expression and are not required.
