In terms of physique, only an adult animal can be properly assessed, as they often appear disproportionate during their growth phase. However, a prediction can be made based on the development of their ancestors.
Favorable proportions are achieved when the length of the torso is roughly equal to the length of the legs and neck. From the shoulders, the front legs should run straight downwards, with the pasterns set upright. Viewed from the side, the legs should be neither too bent nor too straight, as this can hinder a comfortable stride.
Comparison with other animals is often helpful in correctly assessing physique.
