Height for these little dogs at withers: Males 33 cm (12.9 in). Females 31 cm (12.2 in). A variation of -1 up to +2 cm is permitted. Weight: No weight standard. ' They should be strong for their size and have a muscular body. They are quite a substantial dog, with short legs. The dog's coat should be short and harsh. The topcoat is close and tight and undercoat is soft and dense. The hair is short on the head and on the foreparts of the legs, while a little bit longer on the neck, chest and back parts of the hind legs.
