Proportions

Simple and basic yet not everyone gets it. Length of leg is greater than depth of chest, and the breed is slight longer than tall at a ratio of 10 to 9 but 10 to 8.5 is acceptable. This breed should not be long and deep and on little legs. 

The wither is the highest point of the back, the back should be short and straight but not level, (spines do bend and a dog in a stance looks different to a dog standing naturally), the croup is long and sloping.
