Expression
Expression is one of the most important points in considering
the relative value of Collies. Expression, like
the term character is difficult to define in words. It
is not a fixed point as in color, weight or height and
it is something the uninitiated can properly understand
only by optical illustration. In general, however, it
may be said to be the combined product of the shape and
balance of the skull and muzzle, the placement, size,
shape and color of the eye and the position, size and
carriage of the ears. An expression that shows sullenness
or which is suggestive of any other breed is entirely
foreign. The Collie cannot be judged properly until its
expression has been carefully evaluated.
