The body short and well knit, the limbs stout and muscular. The muzzle broad, blunt and moderately inclined upwards. The head is fairly large in proportion to the dog’s size. The general appearance of the Bulldog is that of a smooth-coated thickset dog, rather low in stature, but broad, powerful and compact. Thirdly, its style, carriage, gait, temper and its several points should be considered separately in detail, due allowance being made for the bitch, which is not as grand or as well developed as the dog. No point should be so much in excess of the others as to destroy the general symmetry, or make the dog appear deformed, or interfere with its powers of motion, etc. Secondly should be noticed is its size, shape and make, or rather its proportions in the relation they bear to each other. In forming a judgement on any specimen of the breed, the general appearance, which is the first impression the dog makes as a whole on the eye of the judge, should be first considered.
