Lloyd and Can Champion Chiyoko's Duracell, Best Canadian Bred in Show
CKC BREED STANDARD
Summarized from the Canadian Kennel Club official Breed Standard
General Appearance - That of a lively, high-bred little dog with smart, dainty appearance, compact carriage and profuse coat.

Height - Ideal height is 8 - 11 inches, measured at the highest point of the withers. The height equals the body length, measured from the point of the shoulder to the ischium.

Weight - Ideal weight is 4 – 8.8 lbs

Coat - profuse, long, straight, rather silky. It should be absolutely free from wave or curl, and not lie too flat, but have a tendency to stand out, especially at the neck, so as to give a thick mane or ruff, which with profuse feathering on thighs and tail gives a very showy appearance.

Color - The dogs should be either black and white or red and white. The white should be clear white, and the colour, whether black or red, should be evenly distributed patches over the body, cheek, and ears.

Head - Should be large for the size of the dog, with broad skull, rounded in front.

Nose - very short in the muzzle part. The end or nose proper should be wide, with open nostrils, and must be the colour of the dog’s markings.

Eyes - large in size, round in shape, dark in colour, lustrous, soft in expression and set wide apart due to plenty of width across the skull. The eyes should not appear to be protruding, bulging, or strained. White showing at the inner corner of each eye is a distinctive breed characteristic that gives the dog a “look of astonishment”. More than one third white at the inner corner is an incorrect “wall eye”. In adults, the eyes should face forward, not outward toward the side of the skull.

Ears - small and V-shaped, nicely feathered, set wide apart and high on the head and carried slightly forward

Bite - the jaw is wide, with sufficient breadth for 6 lower incisors in a straight line. Width of underjaw is essential to create proper cushion of muzzle, softness of facial expression and perfect circular symmetry with the broad topskull.

Neck - short and moderately thick

Legs - bones of the legs should be small, giving them a slender appearance, and they should be well feathered

Body - squarely and compactly built, wide in chest, cobby in shape, length of the dog’s body should be about its height

Tail - twisted to either right or left from root and carried up over back and flow on opposite side; it should be profusely covered with long hair

Gait - stylish in movement, lifting the feet high when in action, carrying the tail (which is heavily feathered, proudly curved or plumed) over the back
