Should be of full size, but by no means heavy. Brow pronounced, but not high or sharp. There should be a good length and breadth, sufficient to give in a dog hound a girth in front of the ears of fully 16 inches. The nose should be long (4.5 inches) and wide, with open nostrils. Ears set on low and lying close to the cheeks. Most English hounds are "rounded " which means that about 1.5 inches is taken off the end of the ear.
