Ears must be pricked, especially when the dog is in the heat of passion, the rest can be folded backwards, moderately long, broad at the base, evenly tapering towards the top.

The neck has a curved neck line and is roughly the same length as the head. Has a roughly frustoconical shape, it is elastic and properly muscled.

Internal and external temperature of the body naked is the same as in coated breeds, the absence of hair, however, causes rapid and direct radiation and heat dissipation, which in other breeds naturally prevents the coat acts as an insulator.
