IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS :
• Muzzle is shorter than skull in ratio: muzzle 2, skull 3.
Eyes : Expressive, slightly almond-shaped and dark brown. Neither protruding nor sunken. Wall eyes are accepted in dogs having blue with black mottling (harlequin or slate grey) coats of which they are almost always a characteristic.
Ears : They must be rather short, moderately broad at the base and not set too close to each other at the top of the skull, but not set too far apart either. They are triangular, fine and ending in a point; dropped, flat and very mobile. When alert, seen from the front, the top edge notably prolongs the transversal line of the skull. They may also be half-pricked; in which case the lower part must be pricked and mobile, and ideally the top third or half of the ear should fall forward to the front or the side, symmetrically for both ears.
TAIL : Well fringed, not very long, set rather low and with a hooked tip. When the dog is alert, the tail should, in general, hardly rise above the topline, however it may curve forward. In countries where this practice is not forbidden by law, some dogs are docked. A rudimentary tail is permitted.
Metacarpus (pasterns) : Slightly oblique seen from the side.
COLOUR : Fawn, lighter or darker, overlaid with black or not and sometimes with a little white on the chest and on the limbs; grey, lighter or darker, often with some white on the head, chest and limbs; blue with black mottling (harlequin or slate blue).
There are also brindle, black coats or black with white markings (limited spotting). Solid colours are preferred.
SIZE :
Height at withers :
Males from 42 cm to 48 cm.
Females from 40 cm to 46 cm.
A tolerance of + or - 2 cm is allowed for perfectly typed specimens.
FAULTS : Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree and its effect upon the health and welfare of the dog.
SEVERE FAULTS :
General appearance :
• Heavy dog, not very active.
Tail :
• Tail curled on or over the loin; “squirrel tail” (carried horizontally over the back); fused vertebrae.

ELIMINATING FAULTS :
Behaviour / Temperament :
• Aggressive or overly shy.
Nose and eyelids :
• Any colour other than perfectly black.
Jaws :
• Over or under-shot, or any malformation of the jaws. Absence of more than 2 teeth (except PM 1). The presence of canines and molars is obligatory.
Ears :
• Naturally erect ears.
Eyes :
• Wall-eyes for any dogs other than blue with black mottling (harlequin or and slate-grey). Flesh colour on the eye-rims. Light yellow eyes.
Tail :
• Limp, hanging vertically.
Coat :
• Curly.
Colour :
• White or colour not stipulated in standard; white covering more than 1/3 of coat in black dogs.
