Both sexes are hornless. Their ears are sharply erect and small, eyes bold. The neck is medium short and thick. Their backs are broad and flat with a strong rump and a large full hip. The ribs are well sprung.
Legs are short and somewhat slender, being set wide apart.
The tail should be left in the naturally long state, as in Britain. The eyes, nose, lips and hooves are to be all black. Most often in the color white, though some blacks are seen and these do fade to gray. Small conspicuous black or white spots often appear on the ears and occasionally on the face and legs. Rams are to appear more masculine than the ewes.
