A medium double coat, straight to wavy, with a mane and frill, feathered legs, and full 'pants' on the rear that carry the tangles. Mats form behind the ears, under the frill, and in the britches and feathering, so line-brush those and finish with sanitary and feet trims. The undercoat blows seasonally and wants deshedding, but never shave a coat built to insulate.
