Balance is of primary importance, with the dominating factor to be an all-balanced bird.
The carriage of the head and neck should be such that they are perpendicular to the ground with the eyes directly above the tips of the toes when the bird stations itself. The tail should be carried upright at a slight angle or tilt away from its feet, not on the tip of its toes. Body carriage should give the impression of levelness. As a guide the angle of the body should be 20 degrees up from horizontal. Tail feathers should reach 1 to 2 inches above the top of the head.
