The hairs on the head, the outside of the ears, and the lower half of the legs are slightly shorter, and the open ears are protected by tufts of hairs.
Some parts have longer, more generous ornaments. Such as: bib around the neck;
The ornamental hairs behind the forearms; the long ornamental hairs of the thighs and the "trousers" section;
The tail hair is rich and the tail hair is moderately long.
The hairs are relatively short, straight but not hard, densely packed on the skin and do not change with the weather. The hairs on the head, ears, and lower limbs are shorter, the hairs around the neck are longer to form a collar, and the hairs on the back of the tail and legs are also long. The entire hair should be smooth to the body and not upright or inverted.
The coat length of the Marinois should be worth considering. No coat length is the most correct.

Short hairs, thick and hard hairs, short hairs on the head, shorter on the outside of the ears and in the lower part of the legs, and in the hairs of the tail in a corn ear line, but do not form a feather. The coat is fairly short, straight and hard, dense enough to adapt to changes in the weather; the coat on the head, ears, and legs is very short; the coat on the neck is slightly longer, forming a scarf-like long ornamental hair there, as well as the tail and the back of the thigh; the coat should be consistent with the body.
(10) [Coat color]

White markings are limited to the following: a small to medium number of white fragments and stripes on the forebreast. The pads are white between the toes, the hind feet and toes are white, and the muzzle and chin are white (which may be white or grey). Forefoot claw toes with white is allowed, but is a defect. Any color other than black, (excluding the white markings specified earlier) is hairy incorrectly, while the color turns red due to climatic reasons is not out of place.

The dog's body structure and temperament are considered first, and the body color is considered last. The tip of the toe can be white , small spots of usula are allowed on the chest and anterior thorax and abdomen, but cannot extend to the neck. In addition to reputable dogs, white markings should be regarded as a disadvantage.
Variegated long hair, the back hair is black and red, especially prominent among adult males, which is also a very eye-catching symbol of the Belgian Shepherd Body color is a variety of camel to reddish brown or peach color. The color of the coat is a very unique double pigment: the tip of each camel hair turns black. The Belgian Tambilian dog is characterized by the fact that as they age, their color darkens.

The tips of the toes of the feet and feet may be white, the toenails 0" > pure black, pure liver color, and a small amount of white hair on the chest.
It is best covered with light yellow and black, mainly distributed over the muzzle and tail.
(11) [Gait]
The movements are smooth, stretched and relaxed, and appear effortless. Movement flexibility is more important than strong driving force. At a fast run, the Belgian Marino's footprint is a single trajectory, with the front and back limbs converging below the center line of the body due to gravity. The dorsal line is horizontal and stable, consistent with the direction of movement, and not stiff. This variety runs around a circle better than in a straight line.
Smooth, free and relaxed walks without fatigue. Very convenient and rarely has a hard running action. When the Belgian Marinois is running fast, its limbs converge on the centerline of the body's center of gravity, and its dorsal line is straight and parallel to the direction of movement, without running sideways. This breed has a tendency to move more in circles than in a straight line.
Lively and graceful, with large strides and effortless effort. Always active, never tired, flexible than strong driving force. At a fast pace, the Footprint of the Belgian Tambilian is a single trajectory, with the front and back limbs gathered below the center line of the body due to gravity. From the side view, the front and back limbs can be fully extended, the dorsal line is horizontal and stable, consistent with the direction of movement, this variety of running around the circle is better than running in a straight line.
Lively, free-moving gait.
