rest of the body. The shoulders should blend smoothly into the
midsection, and the midsection should blend smoothly into the
hindquarters. The body should be of medium length, with good
depth. The top body line should rise in a gradual curve from the base
of the ears to the center of the hips, and then fall in a smooth curve
downward to the base of the tail. When viewed from above, the sides
should taper slightly from the hindquarters toward the shoulders. A
small dewlap is permitted on does.
Hindquarters--Points 20: The hindquarters are to be broad, smooth,
well filled with firm flesh, and the lower sides of the hips well
developed. Depth should equal width, consistent with a well rounded
top.

more massive in bucks than does. It should be set close on the
shoulders, with the neck as short as possible. Ears are to be
medium thick, well shaped, in proportion to the head and body, and
well rounded tips. They should be well set on the head, with a good
heavy ear base, and carried erect.
