This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, August 2013 issue. The first sentence in our standard captures the essence of our breed: “Powerful, proportionately tall figure, strong and muscular in every part, with powerful head and most intelligent expression. In dogs with a dark mask the expression appears more stern, but never ill-natured.” Our breed is currently presenting the following types in the ring: “Strong and Powerful with Substance,” “Cute and Cuddly,” “Overdone Caricature,” and from time to time, you will see a “Collie” type. If you categorize the dogs into these four types when you first look at it, the cuts will become very clear. Your initial impression when looking at our breed should be “Strong and Powerful with Substance.” The word Powerful is used in our standard many times.
