Back To Top Shoulders Very muscular with wide sloping blades, shoulders set so elbows are not angled out. The chest should be deep and moderately wide without being excessively wide as to throw the shoulders out. The back should be of medium length, strong and broad. Loins should be slightly tucked which corresponds to a slight roach in the back which slopes to the stern. Back To Top Hindquarters Very broad and well muscled and in proportion to the shoulders.
Narrow hips are a very serious fault.
Back To Top Legs Strong and straight with heavy bone. Front legs should not set too close together or too far apart. Rear legs should have a visible angulation of the stifle joint. Back To Top Feet Moderate size, toes of medium length, well arched and close together, not splayed. Pasterns should be strong, straight and upright.
