When present ear tufts extending vertically from the tips of the ears are a bonus. Placement Set so as to corner the upper, outside dimensions of the head. If an imaginary horizontal line is drawn across the brow the ears should be set at a 45 angle, i.e. neither too high nor too low. Colour All eye colours except blue are allowed. There is no correspondence between eye colour and coat colour.
Intensive colour is preferred.
Neck - The head is carried gracefully on an arched neck. Body Structure rather long-bodied, solid, with depth and fullness but never coarse. Substantial bone and muscle development, yet with an athletic appearance. There should be some depth of chest with ribs slightly sprung. The back is level to slightly higher on the rear, and the flancs are reasonably level.
