The neck has a ruff, which extends to a mane reaching to the chest. This is particularly pronounced in male dogs. The tail is covered, along its entire length, by dense, wavy coat, which can even reach a length of 10-15 cm at the tip of the tail. White, ivory colour is permitted. Noseleather, rim of eyelids and lips are black.
Pads are black or slate grey.
A dark colour is desired for the roof of the mouth but pink patches are permissible. The skin is well pigmented, slate grey and tight. The body length slightly exceeds the height at the withers. The deepest point of the brisket is approximately on a level with half of the height at the withers. The muzzle is slightly shorter than half of the length of the head.
