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.
As in most miniatures, the smaller the better as long as quality, health and structure do not suffer. They milk well and though the lambs are born very small, they are strong and grow quickly. Twins are not as prevalent as with some other breeds. Somewhat unique to the breed is a ruff of wool behind the head and ears around the neck. Their wool varies from fairly coarse to quite fine qualities, in the 46's to 56's with lengths from eight to twelve inches.
