"Mopaya" (aka Paya) exhibits the true breed type of the original imports. She is approaching three years old and has matured into a fine representative of the breed. She has a smooth muscular appearance with a very pliant, short-haired, rough coat. She is well balanced, structurally solid, but somewhat long in long (sic). She moves like a gazelle. Her head set is striking. She has exceptional wrinkle on both the forehead and sides of her head with good cushioning. She has a tightly curled tail. She has exceptional black mascara and eye rim pigmentation that emphasizes her dark hazel, almond shaped eyes. Her nose leather is very black. Her attitude is regal and self-reliant, but she is also loving and affectionate. She is leader of our pack and the outstanding hunter. Paya is very quiet. She rarely vocalizes and only then a short yodel to get attention.
