Faults - Head coarse and cheeky. The teeth meet in a scissors bite. That is, the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth in such a manner that the inner surface of the upper incisors barely touch the outer surface of the lower incisors when the mouth is closed. Neck - Strong and well arched, blending into the shoulders, and with the skin fitting tightly at the throat. Body - Short and deep, with the brisket extending at least to the elbows.
Ribs are well sprung and deep, extending well back to a short loin.
The underbody does not present a tucked up appearance at the flank. The withers form the highest point of the body. The overall length from chest to buttock appears to equal the height at the withers. Faults - Chest too broad or shallow in brisket. Hollow or roach back.
