Outline

The underbody does not present a tucked up appearance at the flank. The backline is straight; it declines slightly from the withers to the base of the tail. The withers form the highest point of the body. The overall length from chest to buttocks appears to equal the height at the withers. Fault - Hollow or roach back.
The underbody is only slightly tucked up, reflecting the amount of substance through the loin area.
