The brisket is very deep reaching as nearly as possible to the elbow with a graceful upsweep to the extreme tuck-up. The tail is long and flexible falling in a graceful curve with fringe often touching the ground. A tightly curled or gay tail is faulty. The shoulder blades are well laid back and should be long and smooth with flat muscle. The forelegs are straight, strong, and set well under the shoulders.
Pasterns are strong and straight but never knuckled over.
Elbows and toes should turn neither in nor out. The feet should be well knuckled with tough pads and well curved nails. The hindquarters are well angulated with a long second thigh and well developed thighs and hocks bent close to the ground. Viewed from the rear, the hindquarters should be slightly wider than the front, well muscled, and without any suggestion of cowhocks. Soft, silky in texture, the hair has sufficient undercoat for warmth and protection, but not so much as to make the coat bulky.
