The British breed description places the extensive pale face within an upright, close-feathered, relatively long-bodied bird. The large facial and earlobe area should be smooth rather than folded. A long neck, fine clean legs and flowing tail complete the outline. This gives readers more identification points than simply a black body with white on the head, while national standards remain the reference for formal judgments.
