At full attention they break forward and over, or to the side as a rose ear. Prick ears and hanging ears are severe faults. A full complement of strong white teeth should meet in a scissor bite or may meet in a level bite. Loss of contact caused by short centre incisors in an otherwise correct bite shall not be judged undershot. Teeth broken or missing by accident shall not be penalised.
Shoulder blades are long, flat, fairly close set at the withers and well laid back.
The upper arm, which should be relatively the same length as the shoulder blade, attaches at an approximate right angle to the shoulder line with forelegs dropping straight, on a perpendicular to the ground. Straight and strong. Bone is strong, oval rather than round. Pasterns are medium length and very slightly sloped. Front dew claws may be removed.
