Until by law abolished, the Bulldog was used for bull baiting. In general appear- 

 jance the bulldog should be a low-set, heavy-boned, smooth-coated dog built on broad 

 and powerful lines. His head should be strikingly massive and large in proportion to 

 ithe dog's size, the face extremely short, muzzle very broad, blunt and inclined 

 upwards, fx>dy short and well knit, the limbs stout and muscular, hind quarters very 

 high and' stf.ong, but rather lightly made in comparison with its heavily made fore- 

 parts. The (Jpg conveys an impression of determination, strength and activity. 



The Bulldog may be said to occupy the pride of place amongst the non-sporting 

 varieties. Furthermore, it is one of the oldest of them and has been selected by the 

 British themselves to typify the national character and is often termed the national 

 breed. Certain it is that he conveys a "what we have we'll hold" impression, and for a 

 dogged, determined, courageous and tenacious symbol one could not imagine any breed 

 filling the role more aptly.

Weight : Not exceeding 22 Ibs. 



The points and characteristics of this sub-division of the British bulldog may 

 be summed up in the simple statement that it should be an exact duplicate in miniature 

 of the larger specimen in every point and detail, excepting size.
