Tail is thick and set low. A full tail is desirable, but will not be faulted if docked. Tail is often held tucked, and will not be faulted. Feet are well protected with tough pads. Flexibility is evidenced in the ability to curl up tightly to fit comfortably in a lap.
Reproductive ability is a disqualification.
Gait is of utmost importance in the Vizagle. For covering ground in the breed's native mountains, this breed uses the pace instead of trot. When properly pacing, the body will be freely swinging side to side while the back will stay fairly level. A diagonal trot with the same freely swinging motion is also acceptable and not to be faulted. The tail is usually held horizontally when moving, though held up or tucked will not be faulted.
