White and biscuit dogs have brown noses. The head is wedge-shaped and triangular in view from above. In large dogs, the frontal part of the skull is flat or slightly rounded and the muzzle is long and powerful. In smaller dogs the muzzle is shorter than the skull and tends to be somewhat snippy. The skull of smaller dogs is slightly domed.
Teeth are large and strong, evenly spaced and with a scissors bite.
Eyes are brown, almond-shaped and set oblique. Ears are of medium size and always stand upright, if not injured in dogfights. In small dogs ears are proportionally larger and set further apart. The neck is strong and of medium length, but it seems short because of the long and thick coat on the neck. The tail is carried high curving over the back and lays to either side or over the back.
