STANDARD .

FAULTS-- "Any departure from the foregoing points shall be considered a fault, and the seriousness of the fault shall be in exact proportion to its degree, i.e., a very crooked front is a very bad fault; a rather crooked front is a rather bad fault; and a slightly bad front is a slight fault."

Discussion

The Bull Terrier standard is explicit in describing the virtues which the ideal Bull Terrier should possess. It is virtually unique in stating that a fault is a deviation from the described virtue, and is faulty in proportion to its degree. Therefore we are charged with finding that animal, in any group presented for assessment, which possesses the best combination of breed virtues -- Head, Construction, Movement and Temperament -- which bring it closest to our visualization of the ideal Bull Terrier.

A properly constructed Bull Terrier which combines the essential virtues giving an impression of strength and agility.

Standard

COLORED-- The standard for the Colored Variety is the same as for the White except for the subhead "Color" which reads: "Color: Any color other than white, or any color with white markings. Other things being equal, the preferred color is brindle. A dog which is predominantly white shall be disqualified."
