Comments: From Veronica Tudor-Williams 1976 book: "She was the right size for an imported bitch, being 15 inches high and weighing 16 pounds, when in her prime. She had a perfectly shaped head, with a short fine muzzle, and very well-set ears. Very dark almond eyes. An absolutely perfect mouth . . . A very fine skin with very fine wrinkle. A lovely long neck with excellent shoulders. Very finely boned legs, with small feet and high arched toes. A fine coat of the correct orange-red. Nice depth of brisket. Superb hindquarters with movement to match, looking like a little Arab horse trotting full out, with the feet not being raised in a time-wasting gait, but with a long swinging stride covering the ground with a minimum of time and effort. She had a very high-set well-placed tail, which could have had more curl. . . . She could also, with advantage, have had an inch out of her back. She is responsible for the black, tan and white colouring without melon pips . . . Fula had an amazingly obedient, biddable and lovable dispostion which she has passed on to her offspring."
