HEAD OF LONGMEADOW MICHAEL 



It should be compared with that of Old Dutch (Fig. 14), who is one of the principal ancestors 

 of the modern breed. The standard of the breed calls for a long head with foreface filled 

 up to the eyes, the muzzle wide yet tapering. Under jaw must be strong but not exagger- 

 ated as is that of the bulldog: the lips must be tight and the teeth meet evenly. _ The bull 

 terrier's ancestry is a combination of bulldog and black-and-tan terrier; it is evident 

 that the typical bulldog face has been largely bred out, in spite of its pronounced pecuhari- 

 ties. (Fig. 17.)
