The chin should be strong, firm and in line with the upper lip and nose. When viewed in profile the chin depth should be observable and give the impression of a square, 90-degree angle. A chin lacking in depth, i.e. one that tapers from the jaw line to the lip, is not considered strong, firm or desirable. Slightly oblique setting with slant toward outer base of ear. Size medium to large.
Females generally are smaller than males.
The body should be long with all parts in proportion to create a well-balanced rectangular appearance with no part of the anatomy being so exaggerated as to foster weakness. Allowance should be made for slow maturation. Back legs are straight when viewed from behind. Paws large, round, well-tufted. Fur long and flowing.
