The hind legs are a little longer than the forelegs and are set rather wide apart, but not spread out in an unnatural manner. The hocks are well let down and rear pasterns perpendicular to the ground. The feet are round and well cushioned. Dewclaws preferably removed on forelegs. Rear feet are much smaller than the front feet and have no dewclaws.
White nails are permissible.
Flat feet are objectionable. The hard is not wiry. The body coat is shortened by plucking. The coat is termed pily or pencilled, the effect of the natural intermingling of the two types of hair. The hair on the underpart of the body is softer than on the top.
