Legs and Feet.—Bones of legs small, slender, well feathered. Feet small, cat-like; the feather increasing the length, never the width.

Tail.—Carried over back in tight curl; profusely feathered.

Coat.—Profuse, long, straight, rather silky, free from wave, not too flat.

Color.—Black, red, or white; parti-colors with white ground preferred. Blenheim markings are most showy. In variation of markings the colors must remain distinct.

Weight.—Four to nine pounds; the smaller, the better.
