Their shoulders are well laid back and forequarters are muscular with dogs boasting nice, well-boned front legs. Their bodies are moderately long and their backs rise gently to nicely arched, long, broad and muscular loins. Briskets are cylindrical with dogs having well sprung ribs. The Cesky has a slightly tucked up belly. Their hindquarters are powerful with dogs having muscular upper thighs and shorter, but strong lower thighs. Back legs are strong with dogs having well-padded and nicely arched feet with their front feet being larger than their back ones. Tails are long which dogs carry down when at rest with the very tip being slightly raised. However, when alert or excited a Cesky carries their tail slightly higher.
