FOREQUARTERS: "From the withers the shoulder blades should slope at a 45-degree angle forward and downward to the shoulder joint....The upper arm should join the shoulder blade as nearly as possible at a right angle."
BODY: "...the body should appear moderately long, but much of this length is due to the proper angulation and breadth of shoulder and hindquarter, as the back itself should be comparatively short. Chest should be deep, the brisket reaching to point of elbow..."
HINDQUARTERS: "...The thighbone should be set into the pelvis at a right angle corresponding to the angle of the shoulder blade and upper arm. The over-all length of the stifle should be at least equal the length of the thighbone, and preferably, should slightly exceed it. The hock should be short."
TAIL: "The tail should be sufficiently long so that the last vertebrae will reach the hock joint."
