i maybe wrong too pjc,but,it looks too much black on the face and the hood is just a bit untidy and too big !!

 

maybe over the years the standard has changed,,,if there like that now compared to 20 to 30 years ago,then i think they have got worse !!!!

This is the British Nun,the German one has a smaller bib and crest.

This is where fancy breeds are a minefield with the standards, the standard should be that of the registered country.

If there is a german nun and a british nun they will have seperate standards.

I know it don't have the blue/green chest but is this the shape? If so then it was an english modena. More info would help i.e. did it have a crest etc. Have a good think and let us know coz this is buggin ( if you know what I mean ).
