This is a large, powerful and noble-looking animal, in aspect
courageous, grim and earnest. The skull is broad and arched, with
prominent occiput. His small eyes are dark brown in color, and often
show the haw. The deep wrinkles around the eyes give him a sullen,
savage look. Ears set on high, hang straight down, and not too long. His
neck is short and powerful, the hair on it standing up like a mane. The
tail is short, bushy and usually carried over the back, and his coat is
soft, thick, long and straight, with a woolly undercoat.
