Intelligence is his hallmark. Any single feature of size appearing out of proportion should be considered a fault. Teeth and jaws are strong, meeting in a scissors bite. A gay tail is a fault.
Feet are compact, oval in shape, pads deep and strong, toes moderately arched and close together.
Nails are short and strong. May have feathering on forelegs and fuller coat on chest. Color and markings are always secondary to physical evaluation and gait. In final assessment, gait is an essential factor, confirming physical evaluation. Any tendencies toward viciousness or extreme shyness are serious faults.
