Seen from rear, hind legs should move almost parallel to each other, so that the foot prints of the hind feet fit directly into those of the front feet.
Movement remains free and springy without visible effort, head raised and back firm.
Smooth and elastic all over body surface. Coat is glossy and its texture is soft. Hairless dogs are not tolerated. Not too thick undercoat desired. Coat is longer, forming feathering on ears, neck, rear of front and hind legs, on feet and on tail.
