It is muscular, solid and appears lithe. It is surprisingly
heavy for its size. The back is slightly arched.
The legs are firm and muscular, the paws are oval.
The tail is of medium length, strong at the base and tapers
slightly to a rounded tip. |

Head |
When viewed from the front, the head is heart-shaped with
great width between the eyes. The rise of the eye brows
comprises the upper curves of the heart-shape, the soft
contours of both sides of the face, which continue to the
chin, complete the heart-shape.
The profile is curved. The nose is of medium length and
slightly curved downwards above the nose leather (lion-like).
Chin and cheek bones are strongly developed. |

set high. The inside of the ears is little furnished, the
outside is furnished with short and dense hairs. |

the face. They are brilliant and expressive.
A luminous green is preferred, amber is tolerated. |
