Head |
The head is rounded, massive, broad with a firm chin. The nose
is short, broad and straight.
The profile is curved (without any stop). Cheeks are full
and pronounced. The large round whisker pads lend a distinct
outline to the short muzzle. |

The ears are medium in size, broad at the base, with slightly
rounded tips. They are set wide apart. |

Coat |
The coat is short and very dense, not close lying. It stands
away from the body like plush due to the sufficient
undercoat. The texture is not woolly, it is crisp. |
