A good neck is muscular, long and slightly arched near the summit. It is broad near the shoulders and gradually narrows towards the head. Such a neck will hold the dog head up firmly. The length of each of the seven neck vertebrae and the cartilage in between determines whether the neck will be short or long.

A Bull Terrier nose is a black – pigmented with large nostrils, but some Bull Terriers have a pink or Partially – pigmented noses. The puppies are born with white nose, after three to four weeks the colour starts to change. At dog shows will a whit nose or weakly pigmented will count against the dog.

The ears of the Bull Terrier

The ears of a puppy will give an indication of its size when he is an adult. When a puppy of four to six weeks has erect ears, it is an indication that he will not grow up to be a very big dog. The large dogs have ears that even at three to four months have difficulty in standing erect. The expression on the Bull Terrier face will depend to a great extent on how and where the ears are placed on the head. The ears should stand completely erect, because in the ten-to-two’ position the dog loses much of his character and his appearance becomes clumsy and coarse.

Bull Terriers eyes

The Bull Terriers eyes are different from other dogs. The eyelids are triangular with the outside angle extending towards the base of the ear. The eyes are deeply set in the sockets for protection of the eye. The iris colour is either black or dark brown. Light brown eyes do appear, but are not favoured as they are sensitive to bright light and may become red and swollen detracting from the dog’s overall appearance. In shows if a Bull Terrier have blue eyes they are disqualify.

The muzzle of the Bull Terrier


http://alfatauri.pl/zdjecia/wzorzec/mouth.jpg

The muzzle must be strong square and a firm lower jaw with a powerful bite. There must be forty – two teeth and the upper teeth should bite firmly over the lower teeth in a scissor bite. If the lower jaw is too long, we refer to it as undershot or a fish mouth and if the lower jaw is to short we call it the parrot – mouth or overshot. When the upper and lower incisors fit exactly n top of each anther we call it the pincer bite.


For the show the manner how the teeth bite is very important.  For the breeder is it a very challenge to produce a Bull Terrie with a good arched and a strong lower jaw with the right bite. The dog’s bite is very important when they judging the dog but not be over – emphasised when considering the whole dog. The teeth should be white, strong and fit well into the broad of the mouth. The lips must fit neatly around the teeth.
