 the body and is shorter on the head than on the body, but it should not be

 short hair, darker than the body coat. The English club for this breed 

 gives the weights as from 85 Ibs. to 105 Ibs. for dogs and from 65 Ibs. to 80 

 Ibs. for bitches. This club has also published the following scale of points:
