The Airedale terrier standard simplified . 63 together in general excellence, when a close inspectiovi of the mouths wouldbe in order and the result counted in the final decision. Ears—Should be small but in proportion to the size of the dog; in adog of correct size, about 4 inches long and V-shaped; of a moderate thick-ness, and should neatly fold over but should not fall like a Fox Terriersear to the front and high, but be carried distinctly to the side of the cheekwith the top line or break but little above the top line of the skull. Apendulous ear hanging loosely to the side or falling back like a Hounds isuncharacteristic of a Terrier and is a bad fault—a semi-erect ear is stillmore undesirable, and while many seem to like the Fox Terrier ear on theAiredale, it is absolutely not correct, and the Airedale with such an ear,while he may seem snappier, smarter, and more of a Terrier, loses the moresedate expression and character that he should possess quite distinct fromthat of the Fox Terrier.

The eye should be oval shaped, not round Anythingapproaching a yellow eye is very objectionable. A round, full eye is alsoobjectionable. The skin surrounding the eye should be fine in quality andthe most correct color is dark hazel. Some fanciers advocate a black does not improve the expression. A round small eye is not desirable;while not as faulty as the protruding or large round eye, it gives a cunningexpression to the dog. A large, soft eye, or any eye
