-Size and weight.-The height of the withers - measured with a stick- is of 35 - 44 cm. The relative measurement of the single parts of the body is - in percentage of that of the withers-measured with a stick

length of the trunk 100%'

depth of the chest 43%

staves on the breast 30%

measurement of the girdle 115%

length of the head 44%

swift. Its step is mincing, its gallop is pokingly bouncing.

Type faults, defects.-

Most of the defects of the type originate from the effects produced by the puli. The puli-like hair and the hanging down of the ears have to be eliminated as a type fault. The upwards' standing ear is equally not wanted. Every shape of the tail other than the upwards standing one is to be objected to. The short facial-nasal part diminishes the efficaciousness of the grasp.

Light brown eye.

Motives of exclusion.-Hair getting felty, short, smooth hair. Round head. Pike-like teeth and
carp-like ones, which are bigger than two millimeters. Defective pigmentation. Being mottled.
