It usually takes at least 3 generations, depending on the type of wool sheep parentage, to obtain a lamb with a shedding hair coat and other purebred characteristics. Rams are distinctly masculine and well muscled, ewes strong and feminine. Variety in facial characteristics is expected. Polledness is preferred, but horns and scurs are acceptable. Eyes are wide set and ears are neither drooping nor erect.
Lower teeth meet the dental pad evenly.
A ram's neck may be covered by a mane of hair. Well-developed upper arm muscle in rams. Wide and deep enough to provide ample room for good heart and lung capacity. Slightly less width than hindquarters in females. Well sprung, wide and deep.
