sure the devout ones strongly between the terrier. Able to fight with other dogs fine alla dead women, today above all considered an excellent dog from company, obedient, sensitive, affectionate and good guardiano, than to times it borders on the ferocity with the strangers, has need of a master whom it knows to moderate its irruenza. Dog of solid constitution, assets and always on who lives, has need of wide spaces where to be able itself to move liberations for a harmonic development of its structure.

THE ORIGINS . . The creator of this narcotic race in its aspect puts into effect them was James Hinks, breeder of Birmingham that, towards 1860, ingentil the race that was then much devout heavy one, rendering it devout agile in i   combats between dogs in voga to those times. Originally
The Bull terrier only subsequently derived from antichi crossings between the Bulldog and the Fox terrier and, and seems just to work of Mr. Hinks, came immesso blood of Dalmatian and others terrier English white men. Abolished the combats, the Bull terrier asserted in the Anglo-Saxon countries like dog from guard, diffusing itself soon in all the colonies where it came used in order to hold far feracious animals.

Eyes
They must appear draws near to you, placed oblique and triangular, very infossati, of devout black color or dark brown the possible one much to nearly seem black, with a penetrating flare.

Sailing point and movement
When one moves must appear very constructed. It covers the land without effort with melted step and making typically lively. To the trot, it is the front limbs that the posterior ones are parallels while to velocit devout supported they hardly stretch to converge towards one median line. The front ones have one good extension and the posterior muovendosi
easy to level of the hip with ginocchi and tibiotarsiche articulations very flesse, they produce one great push of propulsion.

Comment to the standard:

GENERAL ASPECT And CHARACTERISTIC
The standard describes the bull terrier like a positive and charismatic dog, a compact animal, of substance, but balanced and agile, able in with expressing courage, energy, vitalit and affidabilit.
This race would have to represent the maximum of the power in the minimal space.
The head
The head must proporzionata to the body of the dog, must seem generally to egg shape, like some author says, of football from rugby, to long with progressive curving preferring them to others with pronounced curving much but too much short demonstration as they appreciate the witness.
The shape and the proportions of the important head are a lot: the bull terrier it needs of and not interrupted cleaned up, curved a profile, with an ulterior inclination finale(Roman Finish).
The snout must be wide and strong, that it means a remarkable three-dimensional development of the maxillary ones, and deep one, with the determined inferior lateral profile from the jaw and they do not give the labbro, than dry ground, very extended must be introduced, and little developed in height, with invisibile labiale commessura.
Moreover, the remarkable maxillary development of the advanced one and the zigomatico bone determines in this race the absence of the orbital chisel sott'.
The flat skull, I furrow median little marked, the absence of the sopraccigliari arched ones and of the depression nose frontale(stop), united to the Roman finish, they define the classic convex advanced profile of the head, than in its complex it must give one general impression of smoothness nearly like if it had been "swollen with one pump"
The eyes
The position and the cut of the eyes are extremely important poich, if not correct, could easy ruin the entire expression of the dog.
The eye must oblique, triangular and be placed relatively high in the head. Its opening, moreover, small, with the eye very infossato.
After all, the eyes must appear like two tight fissures which to traspare a clever expression and penetrating. Every shunting line of position and shape pu to alter the tipicit.
The orecchie
The orecchie must up be, over the head, neighbors between they. In erected position they do not have to head laterally n in ahead. As far as the orecchie of the Bull Terrier, a sure dimorfismo exists perhaps which had to the fact that in the history of the race the selection on this relatively recent parameter (laughed them to the 1895 prohibition of amputation of orecchie)
THE MOUTH
Perhaps the not specific standard the number of the teeth perch does not constitute us the true problem of the mouth of the bull terrier. The true manifest problem when the excessive profile. In maxillary presence of advanced a much curved one (and perci, in a sure sense shortened) the maxillary inferior (jaw) pu to remain wide, along and deep, producing for a prognata dentizione, or to become tight and streamlined, allowing to I recorded to you advanced to articulate itself with a closing to scissor with the inferiors but, devout of the times, pushing the inferior canines to the inside of the advanced dental arched one, where they can quite prevent to the mouth to close itself completely conficcandosi in the palate.
Also the frequent inferior premolar lack pu to interpret itself like the consequence of a progressive genetic shortening of the jaw in order to adapt itself to an excessive maxillary curving of the advanced one.
For having an inferior and strongly deep jaw, maintaining a closing to scissor, they must be selected witness long with progressive curving.
The neck
A long neck, arch, than is developed from very angled shoulders, contributing to define one correct line superiore(top linens), one characteristic important and one member of value for the equilibrium and the simmetria generates them of the bull terrier.
The neck must be of important length, greater of that one of the head, fort, muscoloso and without skin lassa or giogaia. The force and its good musculature do not have to render it "heavy" in its function of balance during the movement.
FRONT
The front limbs must be very straight and the straight fingers center them of the foot in ahead. The greater part of shunting lines from this model derives from the ancestors bulldog.
The four limbs must appear as solid columns saldamente planted on the land, able to develop that sailing point that constitutes an element of tipicit. Beyond that straight and in perpendicularly, they must have angled articulations for giving to a good propulsion and the impression that the dog moves "like a trenino". It is gone by now observing too much often that an emphasized shortening of omero and femore, with excessive opening of the bachelor-humeral and coxo-femoral angle, with consequent less wide and decided sailing point.
THE BODY
The general impression on the aspect of bull terrier the that one of an endowed body of one short back; and strongly compact. The advanced line extends in continuous way from the orecchie, to the neck, the garrese and from here to the back, in order to go back leggermente on the musculature of the flanks and to finish with light curve on the rump. The wide thorax for the cerchiatura costs them, for the height and the profondit, nonch for the effect of muscles chest straps a lot develops to you and of exceptional force. . Visto lateralmente, il petto del bull terrier deve essere pi vicino al suolo dell' addome.
The height of the thorax measured vertically from the sommit of the back to the sterno must at least be little advanced to the distance between sterno and ground.
POSTERIOR
. Anche gli arti posteriori possono avere caratteristiche del bulldog, come ginocchia portare esternamente e garretti troppo vicini tra loro. Such conformation of the posterior region not only serious for the aspect and the funzionalit, but also for the health, causing arthritis and disturbs to the articulation. . Funzione essenziale degli arti posteriori, o pelvici, sostenere il corpo e assicurarne il movimento. . La loro distensione trasmessa al rachide attraverso due ossa simmetriche, i coxali, che saldati tra loro costituiscono il bacino. In the Bull terrier the river basin must very be developed in three dimensions in order to concur the attack of powerful muscular masses of thighs and in order to constitute one ideal bony base of the rump, as well as devout beautiful how much devout long, wide one and leggermente arch to completion of one "top linens" ideal.
The impulse, that it knows them from the foot through garretto and ginocchio, arrives to the hip and, through the rump, it is transmitted to the vertebral column and therefore to the front limb and to the neck. . Si intuisce perci che quando il posteriore non funzionale tutto il corpo ne risente drammaticamente.
Short thigh, short leg, garretto high and metatarso along and thin alter the tipicit of the bull terrier and damage its characteristic movement.
Cape
Bull terrier the white man must have a mantle completion homogenous white man and, although some signs over the collar are granted, like as an example those GO BACK TO LIST the orecchie or in any other part of the head. . I genetisti ritengono difettosi tutti i segni localizzati altrove , che vengono penalizzati all' interno dei ring d'esposizione.
. Il cane bianco un animale colorato il cui colore stato soggiogato da un fattore inibitorio. Dark spots can appear on the skin rose of bull terrier a white man (pigmentazione of the skin) when not present the layer of winter hair or when the bathed dog, however this would not have to be penalization reason.
. Il bull terrier colorato pu presentarsi con il manto bicolore, pezzato in nero, rosso, fulvo e tricolore.
Usually the bull terrier star species colors to you introduces one white woman on the head, the thorax, the ventre, the feet and the tip of the tail white men. The subjects that introduce all color to you are famous as dogs "from the solid ink" and if they are coupled only generates subject colors to you even if their companion (or companion) white man.
A bull terrier colored it must introduce quantit of advanced colorful hair to that one of hair a visible white man, from the moment that the color must always be dominant.
Ransom
. Non ci sono limiti n di peso n di altezza. . Il bull terrier dovrebbe dare l'impressione del "massimo della sostanza", tenuto conto della taglia e del sesso.
. Non pi allevato per destinarlo alla lotta; deve per conservare la conformazione che consentirebbe tale impiego. . Dovr quindi, indipendentemente dalla taglia, evidenziare vigore muscolare, ossatura forte, compattezza. . E' molto importante che il cane non sia, e neppure sembri, sproporzionato.
MOVEMENT
The dog in motion must appear very compact, covering the land with melted and agile steps and the typical pompous air. . Nel trotto gli arti anteriori e posteriori, visti sia dal davanti sia da dietro, devono muoversi parallelamente tra loro. To a velocit devout elevated the front ones they grow tall well and the posterior ones move easy to level of the hip, with one good bending of ginocchio and one great push of the garretti. Dogs apparently very constructed in postura can reveal themselves defective in the movement, than therefore devout the important test to which the judge of exposure to subject the bull terrier in order to estimate of fully the correct construction and the class. The judgment on the so important movement that in some classic special extensions of the Bull terrier English Club comes rewarded, beyond to the better dog in the complex, also what it has walked with devout precision, push, compactness and fierezza.
