Head: The mouth is 40% of the head length, the eyes are almond shaped, darker in colour, the eyes are slightly apart, the outer corners of the eyes point like the roots of the ears, isosceles triangular shaped standing ears with fine rounded tips and thick ears, but many satsumas do not fully stand up until three months. Body shape: look at the walk and trot gait, a sturdy and solid gait, at this time look at the structure and angle of the front and hind limbs and whether the front feet are outward facing. The coat should also be a little thicker.
