Forelegs never out at elbow. Legs covered with harsh hair. Back level, medium in length. Well sprung deep ribs, strong supple loin. Good, but not excessive, bend of stifle.
Hocks well let down, inclining neither in nor out when viewed from the rear.
Forefeet, larger than hind, may be slightly turned out. Pads thick and strong. Thin, narrow of spreading feet and long nails objectionable. Short, balanced, well furnished with hair but not feathery. Neither high nor low set, carried gaily but not turned down towards back.
