The Coat 

The hair of the Bull Terrier must be short and hard with a good sheen. The hair must lie flat against the taut skin of the dog. Bull Terriers don't have any folds in their coats. In winter the Bull Terriers develop a fine undercoat. Sometimes it have coloured patches know as tick markings. The markings will go away when winter is over.

The Colour

The white dogs have colour patches above their collar. If there are markings elsewhere it known as mismark and is not accepted in show ring. The tick markings is a disadvantage. The Bull Terriers that have white noses and light coloured eyes are classified as albinos.

Bull Terriers colours can be brindle, black and white, red, fawn and tricolour. The most popular coloured of the Bull Terrier is brindle. The coloured Bull Terriers have a white blaze on the head and they also have white chest, have also white under the stomach, they have white socks, and the tip of the tail is white.
If the coloured dog have more white then is coloured he will be penalised. A solid - coloured Bull Terrier is a dog withe out any white marks and is not considered attractive for the show ring so do not mate such a dog with another coloured dog.

The Bull Terriers possess is small but strong feet with the toes close together, like those of a cat. The back feet is slightly smaller than the forefeet. The toes are not flat but bent, and the dog walk on his toes rather than on his pads. The pastern above the front paw must be strong and straight so that it forms a straight line with the rest of the leg. 

The Hindquarters of a Bull Terrier

The Bull terrier’s power and propelling force lies in the hind legs. Therefore they are muscular and strong. It is important that the muscular attachment of the various bones is correct for the facilitate of movement and ensure a proper stance. To have the correct angles between the bones each must be the correct length.

The upper thigh as well as the second thigh should be well developed and very muscular. Were the hock is joint with the second thigh and the toe is short and strong. When the hock is turn inward when viewed from behind are referred to as a ‘cow hock’ and spoil the look of the hindquarters. Bull Terriers suffer from hip dysplasia, but slipping patella’s’ are quite common. The patella is small and held in position by muscles and ligaments. Its function is to keep the bones of the leg acting in unison. If a patella slips the knee-joint will give towards the outside and waken the hind leg.
