Legs are parallel to each other. The thighs should be well muscled. Dewclaws, if any, should be removed. Metatarsi are of medium length, strong, and slightly sloped. The hind feet may be slightly elongated, with toes curved together and well padded.
Nails are strong and black, except to match white toe tips.
Excessive angulation should be faulted as should extremely straight shoulders and hindquarters. Angulation should be balanced, front and rear. For comparison, the correct shoulder layback in the German Shepherd Dog is generally accepted to be 45 degrees. The coat should be comparatively short, straight, hard enough to be weather resistant, with dense undercoat. It should be very short on the head, ears, and lower legs.
