The chest is deep and moderately wide with ample room for heart and lungs. The ribs are well sprung from the spine and then flatten to form a deep body extending at least to the elbows, or lower in adult dogs. The topline inclines very slightly downward from well-developed withers to a broad muscular back. The loin is short, broad and slightly arched, blending into a moderately sloping croup. The flank is moderately tucked up and firm. Serious faults: Swayback; sloping topline.

The shoulders should be strong and well muscled, with legs parallel and strong.
