• Back :  Males should appear square and balanced.  Females should appear similar with consideration given for body length.  Short with a very slight rise from the shoulders to a slight drop in the croup is preferred. A level back is acceptable as long as the tail does not come straight off the top of the back.   
• Shoulders :  Shoulders should be well laid back with significant angulations to allow for good movement.
• Legs :  Forelegs should be straight and wide apart, neither bowing out nor turning in.  There should be significant bone substance.  Elbows should be relatively close to the body.  Lacking bone and substance is very undesirable. Rear legs should exhibit significant bend of stifle so to allow for good movement.  They should be well muscled.
