The shoulders are elastic but never loose with moderate breadth at the withers. The shoulder blades are well laid back. At the point of the shoulder they join to a rather upright upper arm . The elbow is positioned in front of the deepest part of the chest. It is well held in but not so much as to restrict movement.
Bone is clean and fine.
The pasterns are strong and flexible, slightly sloping, with well developed tendons. Dewclaw removal is optional. The toes are long, closed and very strong. Interdigital spaces are well protected by hair. Pads are durable.
