Firm hocks. When viewed from the rear, legs are reasonably close and parallel. Absolute soundness essential.
FEET : Large and flat, not round. Standing well up on feet, not on pasterns. Front feet slightly turned out.
Hind feet point straight ahead.

should be regarded should be in exact proportion to its degree and its effect upon the health and welfare of the dog.
