The medium to large sized cat is muscular and stocky. Chest,
shoulders and back are broad and massive.
The legs are short and muscular, the paws are thick and
round.
The tail is of medium length, reaching at least to the
shoulders. It ends in a rounded tip. It should not have
thickened areas or stiffness and should be fully flexible up
to the tip.
The neck is short and solid. |
|
Head |
The head is rounded, massive, broad with a firm chin. The nose
is short, broad and straight.
The profile is curved (without a stop). The cheeks are full
and round.
The large, round whisker pads give definition to the
short, pronounced muzzle. |

The ears are small and forward folded, with slightly rounded
tips, which point towards the centre of the head. They are
set wide apart and lie flat to the skull. |
|
Eyes |
The eyes are large and round. They are wide set.

undercoat. It is crisp and does not lie flat. |
