SKIN : Taut, well adhered without looseness in any part.
COAT Hair: Dense, very long and exceptionally straight and standing-off. Of harsh texture with straight stiff guard hairs; must never be falling flat but be upstanding even when there is not of a lot of coat. The body gives the impression of being wrapped up in a muff, particularly on the neck where the coat forms an abundant collar, but not like a mane. The skull is covered with semi-long hairs that hide the base of the ears. Hair is short on the muzzle. On the ears, the hair is very fine and smooth. The tail is covered with very long hair. On the backside of the hindquarters, the coat forms trousers. Colour: Self-colour white or red. Champagne colour is tolerated but not desirable. The white colour should be clear white with a depth like milk. Pale biscuit shading on ears is tolerated, although it is a fault. The red colour is of an intense deer-red; lighter shades are tolerated on the tail and trousers. A little white on feet is tolerated, as is a slight darkish overlay on the collar and shoulders.
