It emphasizes a refined head with a speckled face, a long thin neck, a broad high shoulder, deep wide chest, a springy rib, a long broad rump set high, circular ribs like a barrel, a straight belly, and legs of balanced length. It notes dense wool covering and a protective fleece, with a full yet refined eye area and strong bone without excess.
