Taut, close fitting to body; reddish pigment, but may be a different colour where coat colour differs.


COAT

Smooth, rough or long hair.

The smooth should not be silky, but strong and shiny.
The rough should be hard and very dense, somewhat shorter on head and ears and somewhat longer or rear of thighs and underside of tail.
A beard is highly valued.
The longhair is softer and should have at least a length of 5 cm.
The head is very densely coated.

Preferred are white and red, or entirely white or red.
Fawn dogs are permitted, provided it is an exceptionally good specimen; in smooth coats, however, this colour is not permitted.

Dogs: 66 to 72 cm.
Bitches: 60 to 67 cm.
Without undue strictness, dogs which are close to the required measurements can be accepted, provided they are well proportioned and aesthetic.
