Well laid back. Free, turning neither in nor out. Well let down, turning neither in nor out, from hock to heel of moderate length and strong. Close-knit with plenty of feathering between toes. Head held high, hindquarters drive smoothly and with great power.
Forelegs reach well ahead and remain low.
Seen from front or rear forelegs and hindlegs below the hock joint moving perpendicularly to the ground, no crossing or weaving of legs, front or back. All feathering straight, flat and free from curl but slight wave is permissible. The Tail should be well feathered. On all other parts of the body the hair should be short, flat, and free from curl. Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault and the seriousness with which the fault should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree.
