High set ears are a fault. The upper and lower jaws are broad with large teeth. The incisors meet with a scissors grip. Overshot or undershot is a fault. The neck is strong and moderately arched.
Pasterns are short and strong and slightly sloping when viewed from the side.
The chest is well developed. The body is compactly built but not short coupled. The back is straight and gently sloping to the hips. The loins are hard and well muscled. A long loin that may weaken the back is a fault.
