HAIR is very abundant, very long and different depending on the regions. The texture is harsh, (goat hair) particularly on the front of the body. From halfway of the chest towards the rear, and on all the limbs, the coat tends to form strands (they must be flat and wide, round flocks are wrong because the hair must not be curly) or is already in strands, depending on the subject’s age;
COLOR: Solid grey or with grey patches of all possible shades from a most delicate grey to a brighter shade of grey on to black; Isabel and light fawn shades (only on the flocks) are permitted. An all black coat is allowed providing the black is really opaque (zain). An all white coat is proscribed – White patches are tolerated as long as their surface is not more than a fifth of the total surface of the coat.
(DISQUALIFYING FAULTS: Coat colour : white, more than 1/5 of the total surface)
