HL-SV = hind-leg side view, DHQ = development of hind quarter, DL = development of loin, TW = thigh width, DIT = development of inner thigh, WOW = width of withers, WBW = width behind withers, CD = depth of chest, WH = height of withers, PL = length of pelvis, BL = length of back, DOC = docility.

^aStandard errors for the phenotypic correlations ranged from 0.01 to 0.02. Standard errors for the genetic correlations varied between 0.02 and 0.29.
