| Body | Very massive boning, with a broad, round chest, broad shoulders and hips and an equally broad, massive back, very well developed muscles. The shape of the body is rectangular as seen in profile and from the front. There is a fat pad in the lower abdomen. The legs are very heavily boned and of medium length, the hind legs are slightly longer than the front legs. The paws are very large and round, to carry the weight of the cat without being splayed, with tufts on the underside of the paws and between the toes. The tail is of medium length, very broad at the base and slightly tapering to a blunt tip. It is densely furnished and bushy. | |
| Head | The shape of the head is a broad modified wedge and appears rounded. The part between the ears is slightly rounded. The head is medium sized. The cheekbones are prominent. The slightly rounded forehead flows together with the slightly curved profile into a broad, straight bridge of the nose. The muzzle is set off, short, broad and rounded. The whisker-pads are full and appear slightly puffy. In profile the chin is rounded, but does not have very much depth. The neck is short, heavy and strong, particularly in older males. | |
| Ears | The ears are medium sized and rounded, with moderate furnishings inside. Ear tufts are allowed. The ears are set at a slight angle at the sides of the head with good width between and slightly tilted forward. | |
| Eyes | The eyes are large, walnut shaped and expressive, wide set and slightly slanted. |
