General Appearance.—The general appearance of the bull-terrier is that of a symmetrical animal, an embodiment of agility, grace, elegance, determination, and good nature.
Head.—Long, flat, and wide between ears, tapering to the nose, without cheek muscles; slight indentation down face, without a stop. Jaws long and very powerful; large black nose, and open nostrils. Eyes small and very black. Lips should meet as tightly as possible, without a fold. Teeth regular in shape, and meet exactly, any deviation being a great fault. Ears always cropped for the show-bench, and should be done scientifically and according to fashion.
Neck.—Long, slightly arched, nicely set into shoulders, tapering to head, without any loose skin.
Body.—Shoulders strong, muscular, slanting; chest wide and deep; ribs well rounded.
Back.—Short, muscular, but not out of proportion.
Legs.—Fore legs perfectly straight, well-developed muscles; not “out at shoulder,” but set on racing lines; very strong at pasterns. Hind legs long, muscular, with good, strong, straight hocks, well let down.
Feet.—Resembling those of the hare.
Color.—White.
Coat.—Short, close, stiff to the touch, with fine gloss.
Tail.—From 10 to 12 inches long, set on very low; thick where it joins the body, tapering to a fine point; carried at an angle of about 45 degrees, without curl, and never over the back.
Weight.—About 30 pounds.
