Back and Loins.—Very muscular; couplings wide even to raggedness, with slight arch of loins.

Hind Quarters.—Very strong, as great endurance is required; elbows set straight, neither in nor out.

Legs and Feet.—Legs as straight as gun-barrels and as strong; large size of bone at ankle all-important; feet round, cat-like, and strong.

Color and Coat.—Color black tan and white, black and white, and various pies of white and the color of the hare and badger; coat dense, short, hard, and glossy.

Stern.—Generally arched, carried gaily over back, fringed with hair, and tapering to a point.

Symmetry considerable, and quality should be evident.
