They were first recognized by the ARBA in 1988, and have been very popular with exibitors ever since. It weighs 3.5 to 4.5 lbs. when fully grown. Short and rather close coupled, it is moderately filled with flesh. The ideal length of its fur is 5/8 inch, and is to have a lusterous appearance, good body, and a plush-like effect which offers a distinct springy resistance to the touch.
