HEAD : Scalp should be free from wrinkles, covered with short, fine hair. Head should be strikingly modelled, with noble expression

CRANIAL REGION :
Skull : Broad and massive with well developed occipital protuberance.
Stop : Decided, however not as pronounced and steep as in the Saint Bernard Dog.

FACIAL REGION :
Nose : Black.
Muzzle : Length of muzzle is equal to depth of muzzle measured in front of the stop.
Lips : Clean, black ; the as tight as possible and no drivelling upper lip slightly overlapping the lower.
Jaws/Teeth : Scissor bite.
Cheeks : Moderately developed, gradually tapering into the muzzle.
Eyes : Medium size, moderately deep set, brown to darkbrown, lightbrown to be tolerated, friendly expression, almond shaped, showing no haw. Pronouncedly light eyes ( sulphur or greyish yellow) are faulty, as well as eyes set too close together.
Ears : Medium size. Reaching inner corner of eyes, when drawn out. Triangular shape, with slightly rounded tips. Set high on head, however not too far back. Carried close and flat to sides of head. Ears covered with short, fine hair. Fringes of longer hair to be found only at back part of root of ear.

HAIR : The top coat - with exception of the head - should be long and as straight and dense as possible, soft to the touch, with good undercoat, which is not as dense as in the black Newfoundland. Slightly wavy coat on back and hindquarters is not objectionable. When brushed wrong way it falls back into place naturally.

COLOUR : Main colour of coat is a clear white with distinct black patches on body and croup. Collar, forechest, belly, legs and tail must be white. Head black, with white muzzle and white symmetrical blaze - neither too narrow, nor too wide - extending from muzzle over head to the white collar, being considered a definite breeding goal. Ticking still occuring in the white not to be penalized, but should be bred away.

Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully descended into the scrotum.
