Over-all length varies, with slightly thicker and longer ruff round the neck, chest as well as on shoulders. Your body coat lies flat. Locks are slightly longer on back of forelegs and underparts and somewhat larger and longer on rear of hindquarters. The coat is ideally straight, however, many waviness is allowed. This breed includes a losing coat, and periodic insufficient undercoat shouldn't be too seriously punished, supplying your hair is glossy, healthy and well groomed.

Hind legs should drive well underneath the body and move ahead a line using the forelegs, with hocks turning neither in nor out. Ft must travel parallel towards the type of motion without any inclination to swing out, mix over or hinder one another. Short, uneven movement, moving or high-walking gait, close or excessively wide coming or going, are incorrect. This can be a herding dog, which should have the agility, freedom of motion, and endurance to complete the job that he was created.
