Its color ranges from tan, black, and white, or two of the three colours in any combination, (i.e. white and black, or white and orange). Its coat is tight, smooth and short. It is 19-22 inches tall It is a compact dog that is a half-breed and is very well equipped for its purpose. It is solid, rapid and has good stamina.
