Show type
In general, specimens of the show-type are heavy
boned, short backed, thick chested and short legged, i.e. a short upperam and
almost no pastern. The deepest point of the chest is below the elbows, hindering
freedom of movement in harness.
Angulation is insufficient in both front and rear.
The head is little elegant with a relatively wide skull and short, broad muzzle.
The eyes are often round.
The show-type does not fit the standard. Being
heavy and coarse, it gives the impression of a freight dog.
