Drawn from sources rather than written as an opinion — cited health research, the registry’s own standard, and peer-reviewed longevity. FCI breed standard.

Coat and colour
As the FCI standard sets it out. Every line below is the standard’s own wording.
Coat
Make up of coat: The coat consists of three types of hair: • Undercoat: Soft and dense, 1,5 cm long.
Prevents dampness penetrating to the skin and is almost completely shed in the summer. • Topcoat: 3 to 4 cm long, suitably harsh and coarse.
Close fitting. • Guard hair: 5 to 7 cm long, especially harsh and straight.
Particularly noticeable on forechest, topline, flanks and shoulders.
On the front part of the front and hind legs, the coat is shorter and coarse
it is longer on their rear side, forming feathering.
The tail must not have a brush on the underside.
Coat on head: On lower jaw as well as on lips, the hair is longer and softer, forming the beard, typical on this breed.
The hair on the eyebrow points obliquely and noticeably upwards.
The forehead, cranial region and cheeks are covered by short coarse hair.
Leathers are covered by short, softer, smooth hair
