BACK
AND
LOIN--Body
moderately
long;
back
should
be
strong
and
straight,
with
no
appearance
of
slackness
behind
the
shoulders;
the
loin
broad
and
powerful,
and
slightly
arched;
ribs
fairly
sprung,
rather
deep
than
round,
and
well
ribbed
back.
HIND-QUARTERS--Should
be
strong
and
muscular,
thighs
powerful,
hocks
near
ground,
stifles
moderately
bent.
STERN--Generally
docked;
should
be
free
of
fringe
or
feather,
but
well
covered
with
rough
hair,
set
on
pretty
high,
carried
gaily,
but
not
over
the
back
or
curled.
FEET
AND
LEGS--Feet
should
be
strong,
tolerably
round,
and
moderately
small;
toes
arched,
and
neither
turned
out
nor
in;
black
toe
nails
most
desirable.
Legs
moderately
long,
well
set
from
the
shoulders,
perfectly
straight,
with
plenty
of
bone
and
muscle;
the
elbows
working
freely
clear
of
the
sides;
pasterns
short
and
straight,
hardly
noticeable.
Both
fore
and
hind
legs
should
be
moved
straight
forward
when
travelling,
the
stifles
not
turned
outwards,
the
legs
free
of
feather,
and
covered,
like
the
head,
with
as
hard
a
texture
of
coat
as
body,
but
not
so
long.
COAT--Hard
and
wiry,
free
of
softness
or
silkiness,
not
so
long
as
to
hide
the
outlines
of
the
body,
particularly
in
the
hind-quarters,
straight
and
flat,
no
shagginess,
and
free
of
lock
or
curl.
COLOUR--Should
be
"whole-coloured,"
the
most
preferable
being
bright
red,
red,
wheaten,
or
yellow
red.
