BULL-TERRIER. 
POINTS AS ARRANGED BY THE BULL-TERRIER CLUB. 
General Appearance.—The general appearance of the Bull- 
Terrier is that of a symmetrical animal, and embodiment of 
agility, grace, elagance, and determination. . 
Head.—The head should be long, flat, and wide between the 
ears, tapering to the nose, without cheek muscles. There should 
be a slight indention down the face, without a stop between the 
eyes. The jaws should be long and very powerful, with a large 
black nose and open nostrils. Eyes small and very black, almond 
shaped preferred. The lips should meet as tightly as possible, 
without a fold. The teeth should be regular in shape, and should 
meet exactly; any deviation, such as a “pig-jaw” or “ being 
under hung” is a great fault. 
Fars.—The ears are always cropped for the: show bench, and 
should be done scientifically and according to fashion. 
Veck.—The neck should be long and slightly arched, nicely set 
into the shoulders, tapering to the head without any loose skin, 
as found in the Bulldog. 
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 fore legs should be perfectly straight, with well- 
developed muscles ; not ‘‘ out at shoulder,” but set on the racing 
lines, and very strong at the pastern-joints. The hind legs are 
long and, in proportion to the fore legs, 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.—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 deg., without curl, and zever over the back. 
Weight——From 15 to 50 lbs.
