| Acceptable slope to croup; thin whispy tail, set too high; rear lacking in both bone and angulation; long hocks. | Acceptable croup but
unable to assess tailset due to angle of this photo. Rear angulation lacks muscling and
not ideal. This may be due to excessive length of upper thigh (femur) in comparison to
lower thigh (tibia & fibula), the effect of this disparity worsened when in
combination with long hocks. |
Acceptable croup and
tailset, but straight in hindangulation and is cowhocked. |
Too low in proportion to
the ideal size for the breed.Croup too flat high tailset; long hocks and appears
cowhocked. Extreme hind angulation giving tendency to sickle hocks. |

| Roached through the loin,
lacking angulation; long in hock and appears to be cowhocked |
Slope of croup and tailset
may be acceptable but difficult to assess from this angle; short second thigh
and
fine bone giving appearance of weakness to the whole hindquarter. To add to the untypical appearance, short, fluffy and possibly soft coat would be incorrect. |
Acceptable croup, tailset
and hocks, but lacks rear angulation. |
Steep croup, acceptable
tailset; absolutely no angulation in combination with long hocks. |

|
| Croup ,tailset and rear
angu- lation appear acceptable, but deep shadows indicate something awry about this rear.
Hocks too long. |
Steep croup; tailset too
low, giving a ‘break’ between end of croup and tail’ inadequate hind
angulation giving a hyperextending or ‘popping’ left hock joint. |
Croup short and set flat
tailset much too high; rear lacks angulation due to short upper thigh (femur); hocks
accep- table. |
