Body
The body is firm, hard and muscular, a trifle long in
proportion to the height. The ribs are well-rounded behind
the well-sloped shoulders and the chest is deep, extending
to the elbows. The back is strong and level, supported
by powerful hips and thighs and the croup is sloped to
give a well-rounded finish. The loin is powerful and slightly
arched. Noticeably fat dogs, or dogs in poor flesh,
or with skin disease, or with no undercoat are out of
condition and are moderately penalized accordingly.
