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.
