Very large, strong, well coloured red and black masculine dog of good type and proportions. Very good head with broad skull and very good strength of upper jaw, lower jaw should be a little stronger. Desired dark masking with dark eyes. The ears are of good size and set but should be just a little firmer. Very good length of neck into a high wither with a slight dip behind. There is a slight peak in the topline in stance. The croup is slightly short and slightly steep. Very good fore quarter angulation. Very good underline. Deep in hind quarter angulation. The hocks should be firmer in stance. He moves correct coming and cow hocked going. In movement he has powerful hind quarter drive, where the hocks should be firmer. Very good forehand reach. He covers the ground well and the topline remains firm. He should carry his tail a little more naturally. Character is firm and he is gun sure.
