The set-on of the tail is a continuation of the very slight gradual drop over the croup. The tail is carried a little above the level of the body in a curve like a scimitar. Only when the dog is excited may the tip of the tail be aligned perpendicular to its root. Upper arms nearly equal in length to the shoulder blades, elbows lying close to the ribs and capable of moving freely. The forelegs are short with good muscular development and ample bone, set wide apart.
Feet point forward or very slightly outward.
Pasterns nearly straight when viewed from the side. Bandy legs and fiddle front are objectionable. The hind legs are a little longer than the forelegs and are set rather wide apart, but not spread out in an unnatural manner. The hocks are well let down and rear pasterns perpendicular to the ground. Dewclaws preferably removed on forelegs.
