Ribs well sprung. Tucked up towards rear, slim. Should resemble a Pointer's tail in set-on. Carried horizontally without plume but covered with wiry hair. The tails of working dogs' puppies to be docked, in bitches to the lower rim of the vagina, in dogs, to cover the testicles.
Shoulders sloping, broad, long, firmly attached, muscles stand out clearly.
Upper arm as well as forearm long, covered by taut muscles. Articulation of the elbow set far back. Sinews clearly visible. Front legs straight. Hocks placed rather far back and high, distinctly angulated.
