The breed is graceful, elegant, quiet and considerate. Very beautiful, loyal, gentle, get along well with children, can live with family members or be raised outdoors. When he finds prey, he sits on the spot. Easy to train, and a good, responsive one in actual combat. However, it requires a lot of exercise opportunities and is not suitable for urban life. The coat should be brushed twice a week and the ears should be checked frequently.

FCI Standard :

Head: The size and proportions are well matched to the body. Long and sloping with a very clear head. When viewed from the side, the major planes of the head (superior plane of muzzle, upper plane of skull, mandibular plane) are all parallel to each other.

Skull: When viewed from above, the head is oval, of medium width, not rough. The base of the ears is slightly wider than the eyebrows. The posterior occipital bone is moderately prominent. The length of the skull (the distance from the occipital bone to the stop) is equal to the length of the muzzle.

Muzzle: Viewed from the side, the muzzle is long and square, with a fairly deep upper lip, square and rather pendulous. The width is coordinated with the head, and the width at the nose is the same as the width of the stop. Keep it level from the eye to the top of the nose.

Nose: Black or dark brown, well-pigmented. The nostrils are open and large.

Foreface: The bone structure under the eyes is well-defined but not overly prominent. Cheeks are smooth and defined.

Ribs: Long, propped up towards the middle of the body, tapering towards the end of the ribcage.

Back: Straight and strong, joining the waist.

Waist: Strong, medium length. Slightly domed, moderately raised.

Buttocks: The croup is almost flat, with the hipbones far apart, rounded and smoothly integrated into the hind legs.
