The body is rectangular in proportions, slightly longer than the height, and the bones are in proper proportion to the size of the body. The bone mass is medium, and the bones are firm. Never look bulky or rough. Any tendency to be weak or lack bone mass is a defect.

Head: The proportions of the head are crucial for a good looking Gwis. The length of the head (the distance from the nose to the back of the occiput) is slightly less than 1/2 of the height at the withers, and the width of the head is about 1/2 of the length of the head. Eyes: Almond-shaped; set slightly farther and slightly slanted; from the outline of the head, the eyes are above the muzzle; the lids are tight, the nictitating membrane is not visible; dark brown, the darker the better. Ears: V-shaped, slightly rounded at the tip; thicker is better; set back, halfway between the eyes and the crown of the head. If you pull the tip of the ear forward, it will just cover the eye. If looking at the Gewiese face-to-face, the widest part of the ears is in the same plane as the eyes. The inner edge of the ear is against the cheek, and the outer edge of the ear is slightly away from the head, forming a v. In the relaxed state, the ears remain in their normal position and do not turn back. The ears cannot protrude beyond the head. Skull: The head is long but not pointed, with a clear but not rigid stop, and the raised forehead gradually rises above the muzzle. The longitudinal midline of the forehead is clear and gradually widens towards the muzzle. Cheeks are flat and brows are arched. Tight skin. Muzzle: Proportionate length to head, straight upper profile, not pointed, well developed lower jaw, preferably black inside the mouth. Nose: Large, black, with open nostrils.

The buttocks are muscular and slightly sloping. The chest is clear. When viewed from the side, the chest is slightly forward than the shoulders. The chest is deep, with well-spread ribs, almost reaching the elbows. The bottom of the chest is deep and parallel to the ground. Raise the abdomen. Tail: Pendent, extending naturally to the hocks. At rest, hang still behind your body, but lift the ends slightly upward. When excited, the tail may be raised to the waist with a slightly curled tip. Ideally, there should not be much difference in the posture of the tail between resting and excited.

Forequarters: Shoulders are long and muscular. Topline - The withers is higher than the back. The shoulder blades are at right angles to the upper arm and are equal in length. The elbows are neither played in nor out. The legs are of medium bone mass, straight and well muscled. Combine compact. The dewclaws on the forelimbs cannot be removed. Feet: The pads are well developed, the pads are elastic, black, and the claws are tight and round (feet). It is better to have less hair between the toes. Dark toenails are preferred.

HINDQUARTERS: The rear joints of the hips are moderately long, producing a broad, long, muscular upper thigh. The femur is long and the back knee is well angled. The lower thighs are long, dry and muscular. The metatarsals are short, broad and very powerful. If the hind limbs have dewclaws, they need to be removed. The paws are the same as the forelimbs, except that the soles are slightly longer than the forelimbs.

Coat: The Gewiese has a double coat, consisting of an outer coat and a soft undercoat. The texture of the hair is moderately coarse. Coat appearance can range from thoroughly wavy to straight. Hair distribution is explicitly determined by body part, independent of hair type. The head, muzzle, ears, and soles of the feet are covered with short, smooth hair, with a mane on the neck extending to the chest. On the front of the forelegs, above the elbows; the hair on the hind legs below the thighs is short and smooth. The back of the forelegs is feathered 2 to 3 inches long between the ankles. The sides and thighs are covered with medium-length hair, and the thighs and entire tail are 4 to 6 inches long. In the natural environment, the Gewiese will shed most of the long coat in the hot season, and replace the plump and bushy coat when the cold season arrives. Summer hair is not a fault.

Color: White with well-pigmented skin. Dark blue-gray or black skin is best

Gait: relaxed, stretchy, flexible. The feet are close to the ground, the hind limbs extend under the body, and the footprint of the hind foot overlaps or just joins the footprint of the forelimb. When traveling in the direction of the observer, the forelimbs are not parallel to each other, and the footprints are relatively close. When viewed from the rear, the hind legs (below the buttocks), the footprints are also relatively close. As the speed increases, the legs move closer to the centerline of the body until the footsteps become a single straight line. If not in a state of excitement, the head position should be below the withers. If the ideal gait is not obtained, it is mainly due to not having the correct angle and the body is not strong and slender enough.

Family by nature, faithful, gentle, patient, and not overtly emotional. Always be ready to give your life to protect what you love. There is a very strong instinct to protect small children.
