    Brief Description 

    Medium sized, strong, stocky rather than slim, rough haired. Typical characteristics are his lively temperament, coupled with placid composure. Typical are his good nature, his playfulness and his proverbial devotion to his master. He loves children, is incorruptible, alert, yet not noisy.
