FEET - The feet should be moderate in size, compact and firmly set. Toes
compact, well split up, with high knuckles and very short stubby nails. The front feet may
be straight or slightly out-turned.

LEGS - The hind legs should be
strong and muscular and longer than the forelegs, so as to elevate the loins above the
shoulders. Hocks should be slightly bent and well let down, so as to give length and
strength from the loins to hock. The lower leg should be short, straight and strong, with
the stifles turned slightly outward and away from the body. The hocks are thereby made to
approach each other, and the hind feet to turn outward.
