THE BULL TE&RIER 135 



31, 1895. The ear to breed for as settled by this 

 Club is a small semi-erect ear, but other ears do 

 not disqualify. 



NECK. The neck should be long and slightly 

 arched, nicely set in the shoulders, tapering to the 

 head without any loose skin as found in the Bull- 

 dog. 



SHOULDERS. The shoulders should be strong, 

 muscular, and slanting, the chest wide and deep, 

 with ribs well rounded. 



BACK. The back short and muscular, but not out 

 of proportion to the general contour of the animal. 



LEGS. The forelegs should be perfectly straight, 

 with well -developed muscles, not out at shoulder, but 

 set on the racing lines, and very strong on the 

 pastern joints. The hindlegs are long, and, in 

 proportion to the forelegs, muscular, with good 

 strong, straight hocks, well let down near the 

 ground. 



FEET. The feet more resemble those of a cat 

 than a hare. 



COLOUR. Colour should be white. 



COAT. Short, close, and stiff to the touch, with 

 a fine gloss. 



TAIL. The tail should be short in proportion to 

 the size of the dog, set on very low down, thick 

 where it joins the body, and tapering to a fine point. 

 It should be carried at an angle of about 45 degrees 

 without curl, and never over the back. 



WEIGHT. From 15 to 60 lb.
