If two or more of the upper incisors are unable to engage the lower incisors, the overbite will be disqualified. If the central incisor is short and the left and right incisors cannot engage, but the rest of the bite is accurate, it will not be judged as an overshot bite.

The Belgian Tembilien Dog has special adaptability to extreme weather and temperatures. The outer coat must be long, consistent, straight and abundant. The hair quality is light and thick, and should not be silky or just bristle. A wavy or curvy coat does not meet the requirements. The undercoat is very rich and can adapt to various weather conditions. The hair on the head, outside of the ears, and the lower half of the legs is slightly shorter, and the open ears are protected by tufts of hair. Feathering: Produced by longer, richer hair, such as the snood around the neck; the feathering on the back of the forearms; the long feathering on the thighs and "trousers"; the long, thick and abundant hair on the tail. Females rarely have the same feathering as males. This distinction must be taken into account when evaluating females.
Color
The color of the body ranges from camel to reddish brown or mahogany. The color of the coat is a very special dual pigment: the top of each camel hair turns black. The characteristic of the Belgian Temperlane is that as it ages, its complexion becomes darker. In adult males, the black tips of the hair will be more prominent on the shoulders, back and ribs. As long as a small part of the fragment has black hair tips, it is not required. Although females and juvenile males are allowed to lack black tips, the lack of black tips in adult males is a serious fault. Fading, such as cheese color or gray color, is a very serious fault.
Chest: Usually black, but a mixture of black and gray is allowed. A uniform white pattern is allowed on the chest, but it cannot spread to the neck and under the chest. The face has a black mask, and the ears are often black. The face is not black at allSevere shortcomings. It is common for a frosty or white color to appear on the breath or chin.

The top line is level and firm, consistent with the movement target. This species is better than running in a circle. Running in a straight line. Hard gait, horse gait, staggered steps, crab gait, and similar gaits are all faults and will be penalized according to the degree to which they affect work ability.
