“However, good breeding of dogs with "fill" below the eyes and "downface" together with development of the prick ear, slowly restored the breed to favor.”

“In my opinion, the prevalence of the downface (or bucket head, as described by Australian breeder- judge Anne Sorraghan) in the breed is a tremendous threat to correct Airedale type.”

“Nevertheless, since the downface is so desirable, some little extra credit should be given when it appears to perfection, because it is also one of the harder points to obtain in breeding, and the dog with it should go over the dog that has not got it, even if the second dog is better in body; yet the line of demarcation has to be carefully drawn, for if undue weight be attached to the downface there is the danger that it will be the insertion of the thin end of the wedge, and bodies will become somewhat neglected.”

“Windows in the downface of the hexagon provide light and a view along with privacy and shade in the east-facing building.”
