[body size ]

Size: Males are 23 to 27 inches tall at the withers; females are 22 to 25.5 inches tall. Disqualification: Whether male or female, shoulder height is below the minimum limit. Proportions: Brayers are not built like a pony , the length of the body (the distance from the front of the shoulder blade to the end of the buttocks) is equal to or slightly greater than the height at the withers. Females may be slightly longer.

[head]

The head of the Breeder gives the impression of being long and of sufficient width without being bulky. The correct head length (from the occiput to the nose) is approximately 40% of the height at the withers. A slightly longer head is not a fault, especially if the body is longer. Viewed from above, from the front, or in profile, the head is richly covered in hair, giving the impression of two rectangular faces joined together, equal in length, but different in width and height. These rectangles are made up of the head and muzzle. The head and neck formed a right angle, held up proudly and warily. The contours of the head are clean and tidy, with no protruding jawbone, cheeks, under the eyes, or excess fat on the temples. Expression: Eyes candid, questioning, confident. Eyes: The positions are relatively open, and the inner and outer corners of the eyes are at the same level. Eyes should be large, open and calm, never too narrow or slanted. Regardless of coat color, the eyes are black or dark brown, with well-pigmented eyelids and under-eye circles, very dark. Disqualification: Yellow eyes or pigmented spots inside the eyes. Ears: The ears are set high and thick and firm at the base. Ears that are set too low can make the head look overly arched. The natural length of the ears is about half the length of the head or slightly shorter, kept straight and covered with long hair. In a natural state, the ears should not lie flat on the head, and when alert, the ears will be raised slightly to make the top of the head appear square. If clipped, the ears should be completely upright and parallel, especially with the head, and when alert, the ears should be turned toward the face, with the ears open, and with long hair hanging down. The ear clipping is wide and long at the base of the ear, tapering to a rounded tip. Muzzle: Covered by mustache and beard, muzzle is slightly wider and ends at a right angle. The muzzle should not be too pointed or too narrow. The outline of the muzzle is parallel to the outline of the skull, and the two parts are separated by a clear stop (midway from the occiput to the nose), the stop being in the plane of the eyes. Nose: Square is better than round, black, nostrils open. Disqualification: Any color except black. Lips: Lips are of medium thickness, with firm lip line and a proper fit, with no crease or sagging at the corners of the mouth. Lip color is black. Bite and Teeth: Strong, white, perfect teeth with a scissors bite.

[Neck, Topline, Body]

Neck: Strong and well constructed. The shape of the neck is a truncated cone, well integrated with the shoulders. The muscles are very strong and of sufficient length. Topline: In the Breeder's build, the topline is very slightly sloping, sloping back from the prominent withers, sloping slightly downward, extending to the broad loin and rump, with a straight back. The buttocks are muscular and slightly sloping, forming a perfectly rounded end. The topline is strong, neither wagging nor arching. BODY: Chest broad and deep, ribs moderately expanded, oval in shape, not too rounded. The sternum is moderately prominent in the front and gradually transitions back to the elbows, giving ample depth to the chest. The abdomen is pulled up moderately, but there is always enough volume. Tail: Uncropped, feathered, hooked at the end, drooping but twisted neither to the left nor to the right. At rest, the tail hangs down and extends to the hock, with a hooked end, like the letter "J" when viewed from the right. When in motion, the tail is raised and gracefully curved, but not higher than the dorsal plane (except for the hook at the end). Disqualification: No tail or clipped tail.

[Forequarter]

The shoulder blades are long and sloping, at a 45-degree angle to the horizontal. The scapulae are well muscled and extend smoothly to the withers. Legs: The forelegs are muscular and well-boned. Viewed from the side, the forelimbs are perfectly perpendicular to the ground, except for the flanks that are slightly inclined. Viewed from the front or back, the front legs are straight and parallel to the centerline of the body, neither in nor out. The distance between the front legs is equal to the distance between the rear legs. The structure of the legs is extremely important to the dog, which is related to the dog's ability to work and to withstand fatigue. Dewclaws: Dewclaws on the forelimbs can be removed or retained. Feet: Strong and round, slightly oval. In motion, the paws move straight forward. The toes are strong, moderately arched and compact. The pads are well developed, tight and elastic, covered with strong tissue. Nails are always black and hard.

[Hindquarters]

The hindquarters are powerful, flexible, and move with little effort. The pelvis is tilted at a 30-degree angle to the horizontal and at right angles to the thighbone. Legs: Viewed from the side, well angled, metatarsals slightly inclined. The hocks are at an angle of 135 degrees. Dewclaws: Each hind leg must have two dewclaws, located lower on the legs, making the paws wider. Sometimes, the toenail can snap off completely. So the wolf claw itself does not have a fingernail that is not a defect. The ideal dewclaws give the feet many additional functions. Disqualification: Missing 2 dewclaws on either hind leg (only one dewclaw or no dewclaws). Feet: It is true if the hind feet are turned out very slightly, but the hocks and metatarsals are parallel to each other.

[coat]

The outer coat is rough, hard, and dry (rubbing with two fingers makes a dry, harsh sound). Hair lays flat on the body, falls at its natural length and is slightly wavy for a healthy shine. The length of the shoulder hair is about 6 inches or more. The undercoat is fine and tight, covering the entire body. The head is covered with hair, which lies flat, parted naturally in the middle, and droops to the sides. The eyebrows cannot lie flat, but the eyebrows extend outward in an arched, graceful curve and cover the eyes. The hair should not be so thick that it covers the head and blocks the eyes and vision.

[color]

Any single color is allowed except white. Colors include black, varying shades of grey, and varying degrees of tan. Regardless of the color, dark colors are always preferred. Combinations of the above two colors are also allowed, provided that there is no smudge, and there is a gradual transition from one color to the other, the colors are symmetrical. Whiteness is permitted only in one condition: white hair scattered throughout the coat, or a white smear not more than an inch in diameter on the chest (white at the root). Disqualifications: White coat, smeared coat, white smear on chest more than one inch in diameter.

[GAIT]

A properly constructed Breeder is surprisingly flexible. His movements can be described as "fluid", able to make sudden turns, jump starts, and stop suddenly, fully satisfying a Sheepdog requirements. His gait was supple and light, like a giant cat. Its gait gives the impression of sliding without touching the ground at all. As a sheepdog, its gait is strong and flexible. In addition to his brisk trotting, individual tracking, he sometimes needs to gallop, often changing speed, to get the job done. His construction is harmonious, strong and strong enough for long hours of work. A clumsy or inelegant gait is a fault.

[temperament]

He is an emotional animal, enthusiastic and active; intelligent and brave, never timid; clever, easy to train; loyal; gentle; and submissive. The Breed Spaniel has a very good memory and is keen to please his owner. He is largely inherited from his ancestors: to protect the owner and the family. Although he has reservations about strangers, he is friendly and loyal to those he knows well. Maybe a little bit of self-reliance.

[Disqualified]

Shoulder height is below the minimum limit for both males and females.

Yellow eyes or dark spots inside the eyes.

The nose is any color except black.

Tailless or clipped.

White coat.

The coat is stained.

The white smudge on the chest is over an inch in diameter.
