The Devon's head shape is unique as well; the head is a modified wedge shape with a flat skull, a short, well-developed muzzle, pronounced cheekbones, and prominent whisker pads with a whisker break.

Equally disconcerting is the abrupt halt to which the performance comes, a shade under 25 minutes in.
