Excerpt from A LITTLE BULL Winter 2000 issue.
| Focus On
The Standard... Forequarters
The strong muscular development of the shoulder and front assembly
should be obvious without being overdone or looking muscle bound. The
Miniature Bull Terrier should have a pronounced layback of the shoulder.
The strong, straight sturdy front legs should be in line with the
correct shoulder layback resulting in a developed fore chest. Pasterns
should be strong and upright.
The materials, photos, and illustrations were developed and approved
by a committee appointed by the MBTCA. Special thanks to Donly Chorn,
Marilyn Drewes, Dennis Harris, Patti Holt and Trudy Pizer for their
contributions, insights and devotion to the breed The illustrations were
created by multi-group judge Stephen J. Hubbell |
Correct front
xxxxxxxxxxx
Correct front assembly (skeletal) |
| The shoulders should be strong
and muscular, but without heaviness. The shoulder blades should be wide
and flat and there should be a very pronounced backward slope from the
bottom edge of the blade to the top edge. The legs should be of moderate
length, perfectly straight and the dog must stand firmly up on them. The
elbows must turn neither in nor out and the pasterns should be strong
and upright. 
The shoulder blades should be wide and flat and there should be a
very pronounced backward slope from the bottom edge of the blade to the
top edge. The stifle joint is well bent with a well developed second
thigh. |
