The
length of the head from crown to nose should be one-and-a-half
times the width when viewed sideways. The crown should be flat and
unwooled; the nose dark, preferably black. Fine white hair covers
the face; any spots on the ears or eyelids should be bright black.
|
|
The
body should be thick-set, without imparing the general appearance.
Well-proportioned with good loins, the animal should have a solid,
square stance and well-developed gigots. In the ewe, the udder is
covered with fine hair and lined with wool; the ram's scrotum should
have a layer of fine hair or short wool. The wool of the trunk extends
to the end of the throat. |
|
The
legs are strong, with shanks of sufficient size to correspond
with the thick-set build of the body. The front legs are wooled at
least down to the middle of the forearm; the hindlegs at least down
to the middle of the shank. The legs are not wooled, but covered with
fine hair. |
|
The
wool is highly crinkled, fine and with a close staple. |
