| Weight (lbs): | 31-40 |

| Coat: | Rough, of moderate length, with a flat structure, never silky or woolly, fringing not too abundant; thick undercoat. The coat may be tidied, but over-trimming or stylising should be penalised. |

| Care: | The coat needs weekly brushing and occasional tidying of straggling hairs. |
| Training: | energetic and independent but they are not naturally obedient. They must be taught to know who is top dog in their family situation.

They are not a breed for the faint hearted, owners will need patience and tolerance. |
