The Bulldog Look
Body
There should be a nice slope in
the back, and a nice arch in the
rear butt portion near the tail, a good brisket or chest, the tail can vary but long is better and must face down when relaxed.
Never should a bulldog appear TALL or Leggy.
Low to the ground in the front is preferred. If they look TALL there is Boxer mixed in there
somewhere
Ears
The ears will turn off and down
to the side of the head.
NO ears that stand up
or Tulip over like a Lab.
The ears must turn down
and from the side of the head.
A young bulldogs ears will look
different and will not fully
mature in looks until around
18 months old.
Make sure you examine the parents ears and Grandparents
ears as well
Legs and Chest
When you look between the front legs you should see a
SQUARE.
Not a big rectangle but a Square from the inside parts that are closest. No bow-legged Bulldogs
like in cartoons. The feet can turn out a little but when standing the square should be obvious even in most puppies. If you see parents that are bow legged or their chest appears abnormally large or small this is not good. If the rear is to small that is not good as well.
Remember Low to the ground and Square is best
