Length of the muzzle : length of the head = 2 : 3

 

BEHAVIOUR / TEMPERAMENT: tough and active with excellent jumping ability

 

HEAD:

Cranial region - Skull: the crown is flat and has a gentle slope toward the stop.

- Stop: clearly defined, but moderate. Inclination is not abrupt.

 

Facial region - Nose: colour is black

- Eyes: middle size and almond shaped. The eye colour is dark brown. In blues

and silvers, amber-coloured eyes are permitted.

- Ears: set on either side of the crown, which is slightly broad between the two

cropped.

 

NECK: strong, muscular, holding head high

 

BODY:

Back: strong

Loin: strong and broad

Croup: moderately round

Chest: deep enough to reach the elbows. The rib is well built, but it is not barrel-shaped.

Lower line: the belly is tucked up

 

 

 

TAIL: It has a thick base with gradual tapering toward he tip. The tip reaches hock joints. It holds up vertically or curves like sickle tail.

 

LIMBS:

Front legs: the forearm straight

Hind legs: Well developed thighs and well bent stifles. Hocks are tough.

Nails: the nails are black or light trough brown.

GAIT: Stride with no pitching no rolling of the body. Track in two parallel straight lines. When viewed from the front, the forelegs move up and down in straight lines so that the shoulder-, elbow- and pastern joints are approximately in line with each other. When viewed from the rear, the stifle- and hip joints are approximately in line. Move in a straight pattern forward without throwing the feet in or out; thus enabling the stride to be long and drive powerful. The overall appearance of moving dog is one of smooth flowing and well balanced rhythm.

 

SKIN: soft, tender and tight skin

COAT:

Hair: short and smooth. The ridge on the top region is formed by the hair growing in the opposite direction to the rest of the coat. It should be clearly defined from other parts of the back. There are various shapes of ridge, but symmetrical one is preferred.

Colour: solid colour: light chestnut red (the deeper, the better), pure black, silver or blue.

Dogs = 22 – 24 inches (56 –61 cm)

Bitches = 20 – 22 inches (51 – 56 cm)

There is a tolerance of one – half inch (1 – 2 cm)

 

FAULTS: Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree.

 

ELIMINATING FAULTS:

 

N.B. Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.
