Bulldog
 |
| The
Official Standard, as accepted by the Bulldog Club of America and approved by the American
Kennel Club, is typeset in REGULAR TYPE. The clarifications are set in ITALIC TYPE. |
 |
General
Appearance
The perfect Bulldog must be of medium size and smooth coat; with heavy, thick-set,
low-swung body, massive short-faced head, wide shoulders and sturdy limbs. The general
appearance and attitude should suggest great stability, vigor and strength. |
Sound sturdy limbs and the suggestion of great stability, vigor,
and strength are as important to the present day Bulldog as they were to its ancestors. |
| The disposition should be equable and kind, resolute and courageous (not
vicious or aggressive), and demeanor should be pacific and dignified. These attributes
should be countenanced by the expression and behavior. |
